This truly unique recording for Signum sees Joby Burgess arrange some of Eric Whitacre's ever-popular choral works for Marimba quartet. The warm, earthy sound of the marimbas makes for a spectacular record. One of Britain's most diverse percussionists, Joby Burgess is best known for his virtuosic performances, daring collaborations, extensive education work, and regular appearances throughout Europe, the USA and beyond. Dedicated to the development of the percussion repertoire, often in combination with electronics, Joby spends much of his time commissioning and recording new music. Recent highlights have included the release Gabriel Prokofiev's Bass Drum Concerto with the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra on Signum Records, 'PUNKIT' - an adventurous participatory project for massed percussion ensemble by Stephen Deazley, and 'Pioneers of Percussion' - a solo recital programme featuring new work by Nicol Lizee, Linda Buckley and Rebecca Dale.
