Harold Farberman – The All Star Percussion Ensemble

Harold Farberman - The All-Star Percussion Ensemble [1-Step Vinyl]

Comprised of some of the greatest percussionists from the major US symphony orchestras, the ensemble on this recording, produced by the legendary Andrew Kazdin, creates a sound landscape not often heard in the concert hall or on albums. The conductor, Harold Farberman, who was also responsible for the arrangements contained on the recording, provides direction resulting in a unified sound and balanced sonic platform for these demanding works.

It is safe to say that the skilful use of a liberated percussion section has changed the very sound of contemporary symphonic music. One of the by-products of this welcome development has been the emergence of the percussion ensemble as an independent performing entity throughout the US and all over the world.
