Great Percussion Recordings

Do cannons and muskets count?
Beethoven- "Wellington's Victory". Mercury 434 360 2
Battery "B", 2nd New Jersey Light Artillery
Bells of the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Carillon, The Riverside Church
Be Careful!

Corndfed- Have you seen any LPs of Dafos around? I have been searching for quite some time to try and find one but have come up short. I have settled for the gold remastered CD but would really like to find the LP somewhere...

Evelyn Glennie, "Drumming". In the classical section. Just amazing. Dynamic, great recording.

Ditto on Evelyn Glennie. She is deaf and plays in her bare feet to feel the music. Attended a great concert with her and the Kings Singers a couple years ago.

For modern Basque music there is "Kepa Junkera, Bibao" a two CD set on Alula records. These are very good recordings somehwhat on the "hot" side. I would estimate that there are at least 20 different percussive instruments used/played on this album. Another good choice might be the sountrack to "Black Orpheus". I used to listen to this quite a bit on vinyl, but do not have it on CD and perhaps someone can recommend a good version.
