The interesting
thing about this recording as a whole is it's exploitation
of tuned
percussion instruments, which present an entirely different tonal
and acoustical
experience from ordinary percussion like drums, cymbals,
triangle,
etc. The unusual subtleties of each of the three instruments in the
high
and the low registers, of loud and soft tones, and of technical intricacies
are captured
here with matchless perfection, where sounds might otherwise be
totally lost.
Here, indeed is a collection of selections calculated to meet all the
most excitingstandards
of Hi-Fi enthusiasts.
