Bach LIVE! by Julian Loida

The Music of J.S. Bach performed and arranged by Julian Loida for marimba, vibraphone, and Afro-Cuban percussion.

Conservatory trained percussionist and composer Julian Loida shares his best recordings of J.S. Bach’s music that he has recorded over the past decade. Now beautifully mastered by John Baker, Julian Loida is releasing his select movements including: the E Major Partita; the entire G minor Sonata; the legendary Bach Chaconne arranged for the vibraphone; and a special arrangement utilizing Afro-Cuban percussion seamlessly interwoven with a batá bateria and conga drums. When learning to play keyboard percussion in 2008, the first music he learned was the music of J.S. Bach for solo violin. Bach’s music quickly became an obsession.
