Details:
This music on this CD was commissioned by the Old Trout Puppet Workshop for their production of The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan, which premiered on March 27, 2009 in Calgary, Canada.
After 500 years of ruminating on the spoils of his indulgent appetite for women, Don Juan’s Ghost emerges from hell to recount the events of his erotically charged life. Don Juan’s tale, told here through instrumental and choral music, reveals how terrible and wonderful, painful and pleasurable, and ultimately full of contradictions love is.
Stephen Hunt of the Calgary Herald called George Fenwick’s soundtrack for The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan “gorgeous”, while Louis B. Hobson of the Calgary Herald said it is “lushly spirited”.
The Erotic Anguish of Don Juan is the result of a collaboration between many of Calgary’s premiere musicians:
Stan Climie (Clarinets)
Olena Kilchyk (Cello)
John Lowry (Violin)
Rod Thomas Squance (Percussion)
Spiritus Chamber Choir - Timothy Shantz, Artistic Director
Lindsay V. Ell (Soprano)
Monique Olivier (Mezzo-Soprano)
Kris and Mark Ellestad of Hexagon Studio (Recording, Mixing and Editing)
The words for the arias were written by the Erotic Anguish Creative Team: Mercedes Bátiz-Benét, Peter Balkwill, Pityu Kenderes, Vanessa Porteous, Cimmeron Meyer, Anne Lalancette, Jackson Andrews, and Judd Palmer
