Colin Currie's a big hit playing Higdons percussion concerto with the Utah Symphony

This weekend the Utah Symphony played host to Maestro JoAnn Falletta (Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra) and percussionist Colin Currie. The program consisted of:

Enesco: Rumanian Rhapsody in A major, Opus 11, No. 1
Higdon: Percussion Concerto 
and
Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 4 in F minor, Opus 36

They were all enjoyable, but my favorite by far was the Higdon percussion concerto. That was cool! I don't think there is a recording available yet, but keep an eye out for this one. If you get an opportunity to hear this work, take it, be it live or memorex. Even if your not a fan of classical music, you will still enjoy this.
