"Marimba Suites" on CD Hot List! |
|
CDHot List is a review and recommendation service that is used by over 2,000 library music buyers each month. Here is Rick Anderson's review of Gwen Burgett Thrahser's "Marimba Suites":
This spectacular recording does two things: it allows the listener to hear these familiar works of Bach in an entirely new way, and also to hear the marimba in an entirely new way. Exposed as it is on what is sometimes very spare and contemplative music, the idiosyncrasies of the instrument's tone are fully exposed and prove to be both lovely and fascinating. This is no novelty recording: Thrasher plays with insight and elegance, and the overall listening experience is really quite wonderful. Very highly recommended to all classical and percussion collections. (RA)
