"... Levitas' Concerto
was a celebration of sounds rarely heard in concert halls..." Jerusalem
Post The Concerto for Percussion was written in
1999 for great percussion player and friend - Chen Zimbalista.
The idea was to combine different percussion instruments
in one piece of music, even to play few of them simultaneously - like
marimba and vibraphone together in second movement, and of course to
show virtuosity of percussion soloist. After many successful Zimbalista's
performances in Israel, Europe and USA, I was contacted by another great
German percussionist - Babette Haag, who later recorded this concerto on Animato records.
Duration: 14 min.
Percussions: Marimba, Vibraphone, Glock, Bass
Drum, Grand Casa,
Tam Tam, Chinese Gongs, Cymbals
