Following up on their acclaimed 2004 Cantaloupe debut, So Percussion has completed its biggest project so far: an entirely new recording of Steve Reich's epic Drumming, made an entirely new way. This is the first recording of its kind, in which the 4 members of So perform all nine separate percussion parts; they are joined by the singers of Reich’s own ensemble. The result is a direct, precise sound, with a clarity that illuminates this landmark piece. This CD brings the percussion world’s Beethoven 9th into the 21st century.
