Now THIS is Something! Huge fan of the classic Hammer films.

Can't wait to sink my teeth into this!
And just think...with all the great sound and modern production of a modern re-recording.
I want to investigate those scores more, so also thanks to Fitzy and company for giving me more amazing music to investigate!

James, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, on behalf of myself and all lovers of this music. This is seriously wonderful.
Thank you.

While not quite Hammer, Bernard's score for the 1922 silent classic Nosferatu (one of his last) is very much in the same vein as his Hammer scores, Wagner (TCM used to show the film with this score, but last October they switched it out for the most recent restoration with the original Hans Erdmann score).

I have Nosferatu (and most of the best Hammer) on dvd, so I'm going to have a ball rewatching that again today!
Hammer is what I loved back in the 70s as a very young 'un. Christopher Lee is immortal...

Out of curiosity, which score does your copy of Nosferatu have? I ask because, Public Domain copies aside, most of the legal releases of the film have the Erdmann score, which I find to be inferior to Bernard's score. As far as I know, the only release of the film with the Bernard score is the BFI edition.

Wonderful news. This will be ordered the moment it's available. Am very familiar with the Dracula score, and can hear it in my head as I type. There's much power in the driving beat of the opening titles. The last version of Curse I saw had less than perfect sound especially for the music so it will be nice to hear that in excellent condition.
As for Christopher Lee, I will forever kick myself for missing the chance to meet the big guy at a book signing because of a hangover. It was in the wake of the work for both Peter Jackson and George Lucas, and I declined the chance thinking he would be doing the rounds for a while and would probably be appearing nearer later on.
Same thing happened with Adam West too many years earlier. Two very bad choices I've never got over!

Ugh, the BFI is not the one I have
