Glennie/Hk Ch O/Thorel - Alexis Alrich, Karl Jenkins, Ned Rorem: Concertos for Mallet Instruments

This compilation of concertos for mallet instruments features triple GRAMMY Award-winning percussion virtuoso Dame Evelyn Glennie and City Chamber Orchestra of Hong Kong. Alexis Alrich�s Marimba Concerto, a rich amalgam of bold rhythms and exuberance, also explores Mexican and Asian-inspired music. Sir Karl Jenkins traces the 15th-century tune La Folia, furnishing it with refinement and strongly characterised intensity. Ned Rorem�s Mallet Concerto highlights the contrasting resonances of four different pitched mallets in music of drama and dynamism.
