Edito de After The Ship WreckWinner of 2003-2004 Lansing State Journal's Thespie Award, Riverwalk Theatre's Barney Award and City Pulse's Pulsar Award. The music is written, arranged and performed by Sergei Kvitko for the Riverwalk Theatre's production of Dracula by Steven Dietz, directed by Ken Beachler.
The sounds travel from thunders to ethereally distant violin solo to hauntingly beautiful melody of the bells to overpowering orchestral waltz and backâ?¦ and that is just the first track. Later we hear Fugue reminiscent of Shostakovich, angelic boy's choir, wolf howling accompanied by a band and so much more.
