Ok, if you're looking up this CD then the chances are that you have already heard of Leigh Howard Stevens. You've probably heard that he is a great technical musician, which you will find incorrect when you listen to his CD. I mean, he can do all of those one handed and double lateral rolls backwards and forwards and while counting his change on the Marimba while standing on his head, but who can't now? Sure, he can play the fuge from Bach's Prelude in Bflat Major while talking about current events and cracking jokes, but that doesn't mean that he is a great player; he's just lucky! And Tschaikowsky is overrated. Any composer whose name is that hard to spell should be shunned.
Really, this is a great CD by a master musician. If you are a lover of great performances of great music then you owe it to yourself to purchase this CD. Marimba When and Bach on Marimba (also by Mr. Stevens) are the two greatest marimba cds. Period.
Thank you for doing this album, Mr. Stevens.
