Nosferatu (John Zorn album)

Nosferatu is the sixteenth studio album by John Zorn released on the Tzadik label in April 2012 on the 100th Anniversary of Bram Stoker's death.

[1] Zorn wrote the score as a commission for a Polish theatre group's adaption of Stoker's novel Dracula.

Allmusic said "With the ever-changing nature of its music and the relatively short cues, Nosferatu feels much shorter than it is; it's a deeply focused work that holds together easily.

While its very subject matter dictates sinister overtones, the music found here, with few exceptions, is quite pleasurable and accessible listening; when taken together, its cues suggest a new kind of American Gothic".

Nevertheless, the ambient album flows well, and is a solid addition to Zorn's catalog of musical scores with a couple examples of great sax playing".
