This is one of my favorite marimba concerti played by Keiko Abe. Thank Gyurme25 for providing accurate information about this masterpiece. Music Purchasing Info: www.mostlymarim...
This is the Concertino for marimba and Orchestra of Jorge Alvaro Sarmientos a Composer from Guatemala I dont knew Keiko abe play this piece.Thanks for posting it !!
Que en Paz Descanse Maestro Jorge Sarmientos, orgullo de Guatemala, tu música y genealidad ahora tendran todo el esplendor en el cielo. Gracias por poner en alto a Guatemala!
Se ha incorporado el alma al sonido de sus notas, Maestro. Hoy vuelve a casa, para seguir componiendo música para los ángeles. Pero acá, ya ha dejado un gran legado, un legado que lo hace inmortal.- ¡Descanse en paz el Maestro Jorge Sarmientos!
7:58 to the end is one of the greatest gifts youtube has shared with me to date... O...M...G... is she awesome, and the composition is stupendous in every way... Fock yeah.
Sergei Prokofiev & Keiko Abe!!! Peanut Butter and chocolate... red, white and blue: the colors of the Puerto Rican flag. Good composers BORROW. Great composers....are few. BANZAI!
ive actually seen doctor zater at A&M commerce play 6 mallets. When i saw it I was like........ omg........ but later i found out he actually spent several years in Japan studying with Keiko Abe
@tylerofdenmark The burton grip is your cross grip then there is the musser grip where the mallets don't cross over. and the stephens grip is know as the musser-stephens grip because stephens adapted the musser grip into the new technique the musser-stephens grip.
@writindrummer holy crap? 71?? thats amazing. i hope i can become as good as she is someday, and hopefully still be able to play when i'm 71! AND i didn't know 6 mallet, was even real! i thought it was just a rumor. wow...
Im playing this piece with my orchestra at school! Im really exicted about it. Keiko's interpretation is like 20x better than Vida Chenoweths. Are there any other recordings of this?
Nielspercussion, you DO realize that Kieko Abe is 71 years old, right? And she isn't ramming keys; it's called f/ff/fff. Fortisimo. Her technique is flawless, and one of the rare percussionists in the world who can perfectly use 6-mallet technique. End rant.
Thanks for uploading this!! Do you have any other movements? Ms.Abe said that she also want that! because she don't have any date of this piece~even the score!
Thanks for uploading this - however it is only the first movement of the Sarmientos. Do you have the rest? Also, do you have the date of this performance?
Hi there, great piece! I would love to promote this on my website - do you have more information on the piece that you can help me with? Many thanks, Tim Percussion Music Online
scissor grip? burton grip is a scissor grip as well but she's playing traditional and i can't figure out why one would want to play in that grip. feels so awkward.
everyone has a opinion, just because one is better than another does not mean that the least experienced of the two can note on the more experienced mistakes. mosuria, i dont agree with nieispercussion but you dont have to be get so mad at people just because you dont have the same veiws..... please stop acting like a 4 year old
Efectivamente la obra es bellísima, Sarmientos fue un compositor de gran talento. Pero, Keiko Abe deja mucho que desear: aporrea el instrumento, amen de problemas de interpretación y técnica. De todas manera se agradece el intento por tocar nuestra música y a un compositor guatemalteco. Este concierto que oí muchas veces en casa, en manos de Fernando Morales Matus, es verdaderamente un canto a los paisajes y dulzura de Guatemala. Además, les comparto que la marimba que Fernando utilizaba fue construída por él mismo, en un taller sin maquinaria sofisticada, de lo más sencillo y rudimentario que ustedes puedan imaginar.
Claudia Torres no puede comparar la técnica japonesa con la guatemalteca, jamás será lo mismo, keiko es una de las solistas de marimba más respetada y habilidosa del mundo.
i am not complaning i really love the piece but she need to sort out her stick heights the right is higher than the left.... not that it bothered the music just i would be slaughtered is mine were uneven
Bob Becker rarely picks up four mallets. Does that make the most active ragtime xylophonist today a worse musician? Evelynn Glennie can't hear. Is she a worse player for that? Jeff Queen can hardly read music for marimba. Does that mean he's not a good player? I don't think there's a contest either; they all have merit.

Damn i wish the quality was better because this is soooo impressive!
You can buy this Concerto for Marimba & Orchestra Piano Reduction from MostlyMarimba at US $40.
Thank you very much for uploading this =)
my god I love this woman!
The Introduction on 0:27-1:09 like Prokofiev Piano Concerto no.3 1st mov.
I would say that's pretty much a rip off.
yeah a bit
Sergei Prokofiev & Keiko Abe!!! Peanut Butter and chocolate... red, white and blue: the colors of the Puerto Rican flag. Good composers BORROW. Great composers....are few. BANZAI!
Que Viva GUATEMALA
y Jorge Sarmientos
Great artist!
This is gorgeous.
Another example of Keiko Abe just being ridiculous and amazing!
Excellent performance!
ive actually seen doctor zater at A&M commerce play 6 mallets. When i saw it I was like........ omg........ but later i found out he actually spent several years in Japan studying with Keiko Abe
@funkycuban28 Didn't the marimba originate from africa and eventually make its way to Central America?
I hooked my computer up to a sub woofer and a great set of speakers just for this.
@tylerofdenmark The burton grip is your cross grip then there is the musser grip where the mallets don't cross over. and the stephens grip is know as the musser-stephens grip because stephens adapted the musser grip into the new technique the musser-stephens grip.
Holy fucking shit this piece is so fucking amazing I can't stop dancing plz send help
es bellisimo
@writindrummer holy crap? 71?? thats amazing. i hope i can become as good as she is someday, and hopefully still be able to play when i'm 71! AND i didn't know 6 mallet, was even real! i thought it was just a rumor. wow...
it's unfortunate the quality of the sound is not at its best, yet a wonderful performance nontheless
thank you very much for sharing this piece
Im playing this piece with my orchestra at school!
Im really exicted about it.
Keiko's interpretation is like 20x better than Vida Chenoweths.
Are there any other recordings of this?
Hi, i loved that piece, and can you share their score, if do you still have got it? esererdost@hotmail.com thanks...

i sort of agree with you
Thanks for uploading this!!
Do you have any other movements?
Ms.Abe said that she also want that!
because she don't have any date of this piece~even the score!
It's too bad the sound quality doesn't support the lower register. The marimba is so beautifully resonant.
super :)
Thanks for uploading this - however it is only the first movement of the Sarmientos. Do you have the rest? Also, do you have the date of this performance?
It's a shame that the video sound quality is not good!
Hi there, great piece! I would love to promote this on my website - do you have more information on the piece that you can help me with?
Many thanks,

Is anybody knows that how to get music sheet for this concerto??
Can u give me the score forma the orchesta?
Does anyone have the score? Please contact me if you do! :)
where can i get this music???????
Music isn't about 'taking people on'.
dis would sound so much better if the sound quality was better
that's a neat Concerto, but if I wanted to listen to Prokofiev's piano concertos, I would rather listen to the original.
The conductor looks like Oddjob :D
like si lo ven por el colegio :v
I LIKE IT!
But the sound quality sounds like Darthvador peed on it then pushed it out into space only to find out its still alive...
...BARELY

4:41 sounded like a pair of mallets clicked each other. regardeless awesome performance!!!
probably they're just tuning some instrument ;)
marimba's audio quality is disgusting, especially in tremolos. And that's certainly NOT Abe's fault!

might just be the quality, but the marimba seems so out of place with the rest of the instruments here
i am not complaning i really love the piece but she need to sort out her stick heights the right is higher than the left.... not that it bothered the music just i would be slaughtered is mine were uneven
Хвлтура
Amazing percussion, composition for the rest of the piece is sort of meh

Ruth Underwood could take her on. No problem.
