A sorely overlooked (stunning) performance of these remarkable works by Werner Haas. What a beautiful performance! Werner Haas makes you feel that this is exactly the right tempo for the piece when in fact he is faster than most. It's just such exquisite phrasing and attention to tone.
For his new album, Christoph Sietzen has recorded fascinating works by Bach, Albéniz, Piazzolla, Glass, Francisco Tárrega and Arvo Pärt. In his very personal selection, the percussionist selected pieces in which he and the listener find silence: "Opening" of Glassworks by Philip Glass, the famous "Asturias" by Isaac Albéniz, Bach's "Sarabande" and the "Gigue" (from the Lute Suite in E minor) - under the guidance of Christoph Sietzen, these pieces get a magical sound on the marimba, which is also reflected in the very direct recording. Whether »Recuerdos de la Alhambra« by Tárrega, Pärt's »Mirror in the Mirror« or Piazzolla's »Romántico« and »Verano Porteño«, Christoph Sietzen manages a meditative sound journey that captivates the listener from the beginning - until the end of the album the famous second, slow movement of Bach's harpsichord concerto in F minor accompanies the Academy of Ancient Music.
