Marimba Dances CD from Ludwig Albert

This tremendous succesful label album is distributed worldwide and a unique introduction to a larger audience with Albert's own arrangements & transcriptions of famous classical works for marimba solo, duo and quartet. Ludwig Albert succeeds in giving the listener a view of the marimba's prowess as a lyrical instrument and diminishing its reputation as only a 'novelty instrument'
