New Release: MARIMBA SUITES
 
This double CD set was recorded in The Ballroom Studio in Fall 2006. Gwendolyn Burgett Thrasher, at only 26, boasts degrees from Eastman, Peabody and Yale, and top prizes at World Marimba Competition and other international contests. She has wowed audiences worldwide with her breathtaking performances, and is now releasing this highly anticipated debut recording of her own transcriptions of Bach’s Complete Cello Suites. These reverent but fearless arrangements are destined to become a staple in marimba repertoire and her technically dazzling and musically passionate playing is setting a new standard for marimba performance. Already said to be “one of the best marimba recordings ever made” and “out of this world performance” this double CD set is going to change the way you hear Bach and think about marimba.
