Description:

Fascinating Marimba! A brilliant concerto album performed by a popular young marimba player, Sinko Tsukagoshi! This album features two major marimba concertos that Sinko Tsukagoshi has treasured as part of her repertoire. Lauda Concertata" was written for marimba by one of Japan's greatest composers, Akira Ifukube. Tsukagoshi overwhelmed the audience with his perfect technique and musicality in this piece full of earthy and vibrant rhythms. The excitement of the live performance was palpable in this full-bodied performance. Also included is a romantic concerto written by Emmanuel Sejorne, himself an active percussionist. This is a beautiful concerto full of enchanting sounds and melodies played by marimba and small string orchestra, and will become an important repertoire piece for marimba players in the future.
