DCD 101 - In a Landscape

Daniel Berg is a talented marimbist based in Sweden. In this episode of the DCD Enhanced Classical 'Cast we feature selections from his debut album, "In a Landscape." The CD collects some of Berg's favorite works for solo marimba together, and provides a fascinating snapshot of the breadth of compositional styles that make up the repertoire. The composers hail from the Americas, Europe, and Japan, where a good number of prominent solo marimba players come from. If you think of the marimba as only something heard in the background of South American dance music, then this is a CD well worth checking out. Daniel Berg's performances show that the marimba is as expressive as any orchestral instrument. Remember, you don't need an iPod to enjoy an enhanced podcast -- just the iTunes program.
