Information/Write-up
Nash's soundtrack to the 1922 silent film. Nash shadows Murnau's plot from the sunny opening, through the Borgo Pass to the scuttling darkness of Shreck's vampire. Added to his original score are interpretations of Fauré's Requiem and Saint-Saens's Danse Macabre, a nod to the tradition of scoring Nosferatu with dark classical music.
A formidable stage presence, this one-man symphony of terror has brought new light -- and shadows -- to one of the genre's earliest cinematic triumphs.
