Elliot Goldenthal scored the 1994 film Interview with the Vampire, working again with director and frequent collaborator Neil Jordan.
The music is characterized by its full, dramatic sound, which complements the film's gothic atmosphere. The classical style effectively conveys the characters' emotional state and essence, exemplified by Handel's Concerto No. 6 for Harp, which is heard in scenes depicting Claudia's early years as a vampire before she realizes she cannot age like her companions.
The rock band Guns N' Roses covered the Rolling Stones song "Sympathy for the Devil", which plays during the film's end credits. The song was released as a single CD, with "Escape to Paris" as a B-side.
The album was nominated for the Academy Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, losing on both counts to the score of The Lion King.
