It features modernist compositions by Japanese composers. They are really well crafted compositions, in the vein of Boulez, Elliot Carter and Milton Babbit. The performer is a real virtuoso and a top name percussionist in contemporay music circles, especially on the mallet instruments. Japanese composers have a special inclination towards using the Marimba and Vibraphone, and I had the special chance to hear many of these subtlly expressive and finely honed compositions at Suntory Hall Tokyo when I was there for a Japan Federation of Composers recital last March. If you enjoy modern music, the quality of the performances, the compositions and the recording are unlikely to pose an issue.
