    Just wonderful! I wanted to be a timpanist in Junior High School...alas, the school traded the tympani for a bunch of string instruments. In my dreams I was Nikolaus... I also enjoyed the expressions from other orchestra members while you performed.

    When i first heard about the existence of this solo piece in a short documentation about it on UA-cam, I was hyped. But it has huge flaws (the piece, not this particular performance, although either the microphone quality or my speakers arent ideal for the bass). Firstly, its way too experimental, maybe useful for a horror film, but not a joy to listen to. Sometimes i thought that somebody made a mistake until that weird note repeated multiple times. But mostly, when a piece of music demands that everything has to stand still for several minutes (!) while the Soloist prepares his mallets and other tools (with help from others!), it is just poor orchestration.

      Oh my god, I recently rewatched it, this time to the end. I thought it couldnt be worse than in my previous imagination when they threw the sticks away backwards and couldnt get rid of the chain. But then 34:21 happened, disgusting. Now I do hate it.

    One person, on a set of 5 = 32, 29, 26, 23 and 20 inches in diameter. Two mallets per hand rolling on 4 different drums, the constant tuning, glissando rolls, and dramatic movements between drums is amazing. It certainly makes the orchestra so much more dramatic, especially the loud passages.

    Sounds like movie soundtrack and very tense maybe background for Hitchcock type suspense. Reminds me of Holst Mars that opens the Planets. problem I see is no break in the tension. Yes music can have tension but not relaxing to have almost constant tension with almost no break. Kind of need stress with alternating quiet parts. Too stressful in today's world with high stress did NOT like partially destroying the bass drum. Was that intentional? Imagine a violinist destroying a Stradivarius violin! Terrible end but guess in recording we would not see that. Music does not have to relax but make statements and I heard no relief from stress at all. Guess if I buy the saxophone concerto I would get this but might shut off CD and not play it very much. Even Rite of Spring still wild today but it does have some tension relief in it. I do like his violin concerto. I like percussion concerto better on marimba or xylophone since they have different notes. Not really my thing but is music just no much needed relief until it ends

    I think it's good. It's always important to deviate from the norm sometimes and think outside the box. This has fantastic tension. Music is an emotional extension and it's okay to use discordance to express things like panic and anxiety and confusion. Like this is what raw fear sounds like in orchestra form. This is what beating your fists bloody on the door with righteous furry sounds like. Those are real feeling people have and it's interesting to hear someone put sound to it.

      I usually give composers a lot of leeway as music comes in many shapes forms and sizes. But on this piece, I think some student at a school like Juilliard left his homework on the subway. So at the last minute he took a fountain pen and started flicking ink on the paper. Then some woke professor looked at it and said, "it might need a little work here and there, but Absolutely Genius". Personally, I think the moron should have been expelled.
