Thomas Enhco & Vassilena Serafimova Avalanche

A little over seven years ago, my piano teacher Gisèle Magnan called me up and said: “Hello, Thomas, I’ve discovered an utterly amazing classical percussionist, a young Bulgarian woman who plays the marimba divinely. I want you to do a concert together; it will be fantastic!"

On the album "Bach Mirror" the French pianist Thomas Enhco and marimba player Vassilena Serafimova give well-known and less well-known works by Johann Sebastian Bach an innovative sound. Pieces such as the Prelude No. 2 from the Well-Tempered Clavier or the Air from the orchestral suite No. 3 sound new and fresh in the unusual instrumentation of piano and marimba. With their sound painting arrangements, Thomas Enhco and Vassilena Serafimova expose Bach's harmonic-melodic work structures and enable the audience to gain new perspectives on the architecture of his unique compositions.
