Good percussion recordings


Hoping someone could recommend a few good percussion only recordings, specifically Latin and or Orchestral percussion. Thanks for any input.

Many good suggestions above. There is a gold audiophile edition of Planet Drum--highly recommended. For classical percussion, try the Safri Duo. I recommend two of their recordings on Chandos: "Goldrush", which features some purely percussion arrangements of works by Bach, Mendelssohn, Chopin and Ravel, plus some works by contemporary composers. And "Works for Percussion", which is all contemporary. Killer. And definitely get Evelyn Glennie's "Drumming". For great sonics, try "The All-Star Percussion Ensemble II" on Golden String (available through First Impressions).
