Just curious: Was Coppola involved or asked to sign off on this? Not sure how involved he is with soundtrack re-releases for his films.

I’m also more interested in this vs Schindler’s List as well. I suspect the tracks as Kilar envisioned them will play better than the Pro Tools mash up that ended up being used in the film.

I would agree that Coppola did go overboard at several points during the movie
For sure is the movie over the top... it has the feeling of a dream, as if one nodded off reading the book while having a tad too much absinthe. It is surreal, it is supposed to be... it's more in line with Buñuel, Méliès, Cocteau, not so much with classic horror movies by Universal or Hammer. That's what I like about it so much.
And as great as LaLaLand's other releases are this season, I have to admit I am very happy with the original OST releases of Harry Potter or Schindler's List (even though I'm sure of course the LaLaLand releases are gorgeously produced), but an expanded version of the music for Bram Stoker's Dracula is the one score I always hoped for would see the light of day (whoops, sorry Dracula), and that day has now come.

I love this score and movie--and yes, it should have received an Oscar nomination. I remember being just about blown out of my seat with astonishment at how great the opening moments of the score were when I saw it for the first time in a theater.
Yes. And in fact, I remember when the movie came out and the poster said "Music by Wojciech Kilar" that was a WOW moment for me. I knew Kilar's music (or at least some of it), having heard some of his concert works and the one film score I knew by him (and had on LP back then) was "Le Roi et l'Oiseau", which I really like. But I had not heard anything of or by Kilar in years, and I thought holy cow, Coppola (a music lover) had hired Wojciech Kilar (part of an informal Polish trio which included Penderecki and Gorecki) for the music ... this is no ordinary Dracula.

Kudos to La-La Land and Francis Coppola!
I don't think any score achieves the hypnotic level this one does in its finest moments.
You could tell that this movie had been so fine-tuned up until the last minute that the score couldn't possibly be intact.
Alas, La-La Land now brings us the "unknown Kilar score" from Bram Stoker's Dracula. Can't wait.
