These six world premiere recordings present one of percussion's greatest masters in a panorama of works by leading composers of our time. This remarkable journey through sound and rhythm includes electronics such as the dramatically funky climaxes to Bruno Mantovani's Le Grand Jeu, a dreamy musical halo around metal instruments in Marco Stroppa's Auras and Jean-Claude Risset's sound illusions in Nature contre Nature. Peter Eotvos's Thunder is a unique quest to explore the potential of a single bass timpani, while Philippe Hersant revisits Berlioz, Schuber and Gounod in his Trois petites etudes. Rene Leibowitz's Three Caprices were among the first works written for solo vibraphone. Album Tracks 1. Le Grand Jeu 2. Auras 3. Thunder 4. I. Allegro Con Fantasia 5. II. Più Tosto Lento 6. III.
