Stephan Graf v. Bothmer: NOSFERATU

"Nosferatu" is the first and most charismatic Dracula adaptation in film history. The well-known story of the young man who went out to sell a house and fell into a nightmare. The film is probably one of the most artistically valuable German film productions of all time. The poetic imagery, nature shots that have never been used before and the sensational portrayal of Max Schreck, together with von Bothmer's music, ensure an almost mystical experience. [F.W. Murnau, Germany 1922]

Stephan Graf v. Bothmer sets "Nosferatu - a symphony of horror" to music in an eerily and poignantly beautiful way. He gives the film a depth that seemed unattainable. His music has been performed over 300 times worldwide. It is the most successful film score for NOSFERATU since the silent film era. In the piano version, Stephan v. Bothmer NOSFERATU in honor of Murnau performed at night at the director's grave in the Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf in front of over 800 guests.

The pianist and composer fills theaters and concert halls on five continents with his spectacular silent film concerts. Classics, comedies and science fiction films shine in a new light through his music. The audience seems to be sucked right into the films.

Bothmer's silent film concerts are shows with music, supporting films and infotainment - an event concept with which he has delighted over 300,000 guests to date: at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival and in the Laeiszhalle Hamburg as well as in Berlin in the Admiralspalast, in the Wintergarten Varieté and in the Berlin Cathedral , even at the Rock-Pop Festival at Tempelhof Airport after Björk, Blur and the Pet Shop Boys. His compositions are just as dramatic, a mixture of Beethoven and Pink Floyd, as playful, light and virtuoso as Chopin and Ravel.
