I liked the idea of adding a score to the 31 Dracula as an experiment and because that film often cries out for one. And regardless of he brilliance of the Glass music, its just layered on as background music. It's not enhancing any particular scene. It really needed to be spotted for me to enjoy it.

The carriage ride early in the film is not what I would call background music from Glass. It's "scene-specific" at least.
Here's a possible answer. In the USA, Spotify has both the 1992 soundtrack, credited to "Anton Coppola" as if he were the composer, and also the later Marco Polo recording of the suite. The suite is the only one that comes up under "Kilar Dracula" - and it's conducted by Antoni Wit. I bet somebody just got the two kinda mixed up in and created, well, a Frankenstein's* monster.
a.) Kenyon Emrys-Roberts score for the 1977 BBC production of COUNT DRACULA, sparse, but haunting. I swear that someday I'll get this one out in some form.
Ordered! Oh, wait...
But seriously, as far as adaptations of the novel go, the 1977 BBC stands head and shoulders above the rest!
