Duo for Piano and Marimba

It is rare that the instrumental combination of two-mallet marimba and piano sounds like a serious piece of chamber music, but this new work by Rick Orpen belies the stereotype. This work is also substantial in length, filling almost ten minutes with interesting and challenging music.
