For centuries, the touring virtuoso displaying outstanding skill on a particular instrument has been a central feature of concert hall entertainment. Newcomers offer not only fine music, but also the attraction of hearing comparatively unusual instruments brought to the fore. Percussion virtuosi are among the latest to join the ranks of concertizing soloists and, among them, Evelyn Glennie blazes an unforgtable trail.
Rebounds presents a selection of fine percussion concertos from the 1930s right up to the 1990s. Infectious rhythms from jazz and traditional Brazilian music permeate this unforgettable album.
