Bothmer's composition is gripping and extremely suggestive: it brings archetypes to life and virtually slips into the film. The audience experiences the movie from the inside out! A wonderful and eerie journey into one's own unconscious, the land of hidden fears and desires.
The cult classic NOSFERATU is the first and most charismatic Dracula adaptation in film history. The story of a young man who sets out to sell a house and ends up in a nightmare. The film is one of the most artistically valuable German film productions of all time. The poetic visual language, nature shots that have never been used before and the sensational performance of Max Schreck, together with von Bothmer's music, make for a mystical experience. [F.W. Murnau, D 1922]
Stephan Graf v. Bothmer has thrilled over 300,000 guests with his concerts on five continents: at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival and in the Laeiszhalle Hamburg as well as in Berlin at the Admiralspalast, the Wintergarten Varieté and the Berlin Cathedral, even at the Rock-Pop-Festival at Tempelhof Airport after Björk, Blur and the Pet Shop Boys. His compositions are as dramatic as they are playful and virtuosic, a fusion of Beethoven and Pink Floyd, Chopin and Deep Purple, African music and electronic music. He opened the 3rd International Organ Festival in the Almaty Philharmonic Hall (Kazakhstan) with two silent film concerts.

"Wonderful music - the best I've ever heard, no, been allowed to hear, to NOSFERATU". Cinema Musica
"High drama and standing ovations" New York Times
"I've never experienced Nosferatu as intensely as I did last Sunday at the Lichtburg in Essen... even though I've seen the movie a dozen times. I even had tears in my throat at the end. The best and most fitting live film music I've ever heard! THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT EXPERIENCE!!!" Ulli Berns (facebook)
