Ralph Sorrentino - For Two (2025) Hi-Res

Percussion moves to the front of the stage on Ralph Sorrentino's FOR TWO, an album of duets for a variety of chamber music combinations. This exploration of percussive soundscapes finds the haunting elegance of the vibraphone paired with the unrivaled expression of the human voice, energetic dialogue between snare drums and bass drums, and narrated poetry over brake drums. The album showcases percussion as more than a vehicle for backing rhythms, with each piece drawing out the expressive qualities and unique timbres of the instruments.
