Philip Feeney's Dracula

The radio station woke me and my wife on Halloween morning with a rather ominous piece of music, which turned out to be the prelude to Philip Feeny's Ballet version of Dracula. I had never heard of him before, but the prologue was so taken by the prologue that I had to look into this.

Naxos has a name for producing high-quality recordings at a low cost. This item is certainly reasonably priced.

Dracula has been a tired-old staple for so many years in Hollywood, so we tend to forget that Bram Stoker's classic novel is an exciting and riveting story. The vampire in the novel is truly a terrifying supernatural creature, not just a misunderstood foreign guy with an extra chromosome.
