Replying to my own four year old comment. I still keep coming back to this performance. It truly is brilliant and unique! Wish I could have seen this in person.
The marimba is a bit dominant and sharp, but I don't dislike it. The percussive and particularly the vocal bits I am not entirely sure of, too irregular for me, breaks the repetitive rhythmic trance. But hey, interpretations. Accordeon and cello were made for their parts, it seems. I enjoyed the whole of it.
If you want to hear the relentless pulse of Canto Ostinato and how the different parts interlock, and how the piece evolves slowly, you came to the wrong place. The musicians decided to add an improvised part of voice and percussion. You never hear the expected fusion of all voices, especially because the marimba upper register is too loud. Maybe It could be seen as a musician outside the piece adding his part, but I am not convinced.
i personally wonder why there are not more recordings of co with improvised parts, as the structure of the piece lends itself so naturally to do exactly that. in as far i am convinced.

Impressive, großartig, wunderbar. CD?

Is it me or is the marimba very loud in the mix? Otherwise, great combination of instruments
It’s just you.
