Paul Lansky: Idle Fancies (VOL. 15)
BRIDGE 9454


$ 14.99

This exceptionally beautiful recording presents Paul Lansky's complete music for solo marimba, performed by the young marimba virtuoso, Gwendolyn Dease. The composer writes: "One of the highlights of my life as a composer occurred when I got an email from Gwendolyn Burgett Dease pointing me to a video of her wonderful performance of "Idle Fancies". Her performance of the piece was so excellent that it took me quite a while to lift my jaw from the floor."  Ms. Dease returns the compliment giving the listener performances that are bouncy and seductive.

 

Reviews:


Dease has the chops. She plays with clarity and conviction with a deft touch for color and dynamic shading.” - New Music Connoisseur


Marimba player Gwendolyn Dease is a superlative advocate for Lansky’s music, bringing out every nimble run and nuanced dynamic with accuracy and artistry.” - Sequenza21


If you prefer a rich tapestry of overtones in your music, go for the marimba. Dease is quite the wizard of her instrument.” - Performing Arts Monterey Bay


As a marimbist I appreciate her artistry. As a listener, I appreciate Lansky’s compositional skill.” - WTJU91.1FM
