Today’s show started with a unique collaboration, a trio of balaphonists from Mali, and a trio of percussinists from Iran playing the daf and tombak. Two largely unrelated traditions and concepts of rhythm, but an experiment which results in terrific and original music. The show continued with one of Brahms’ greatest works, in a wonderful live recording with the supreme Sviatoslav Richter. More unusal percussion with some music from Bali, and particular the lengthy piece of Gamelan Jegog, a rare instrumentation of all-bamboo instruments with a spectacular sound, there is something extremely soothing and warm from all wooden percussion instruments, I would love to find some more Jegog.
