Today's Concert: Andreas Hepp, percussion and Indian Music

Percussionist Andreas Hepp performs his own composition SAGITTARIUS for a wide variety of percussion instruments including piano. He gives an excellent introduction: in German, mind you. And yes, he does get to those water-filled glasses, around the 19 minute mark.


Next, an Indian instrument I just discovered, the rudra veena here played by virtuoso Ustad Asad Ali Khan. The instrument is a kind of bass sitar with two enormous resonating gourds. I am dying to see what a rudra veena travel case looks like...
