Marimba Spiritual Katarzyna Mycka Schallplatten Friedrich Mauermann Polish marimbist Katarzyna Mycka has performed a CD of extreme interest from both a musical and compositional standpoint. Her performing is of the highest caliber and the compositions performed represent some of the best marimba music written. The compositions are: “Concerto for Marimba and Percussion Ensemble” by Ney Rosauro; “Ghanaia” by Matthias Schmitt; “Variations on Japanese Children’s Songs” and “Dream of the Cherry Blossoms” by Keiko Abe; “My Lady White” by David Maslanka; “Marimbasonic” by Markus Holt; “Etude Hommage 11” by Eckhard Kopetzki; “Etudes de Lux” by Siegfried Fink; “Restless” by Rich O’Meara; “P.S. for marimba solo” by Andres Koppel; “Etude Nr. 1” by Paul Smadbeck; and “Marimba Spiritual” by Minoru Miki. Mycka is fast becoming a recognized force on the marimba. Her stellar performance at PASIC ’97 and this CD attest to her skill and musicality. All the compositions are well performed and recorded, making this a must for marimba aficionados. - John Beck
