Only got the Symphony Version because it's the original version of the piece itself. The Symphony Version is an extended version of the concerto. This is by far the best Marimba Concerto I've ever heard, and I loved the overall use of percussion involved in this one. My favorite movement from the concerto would be Mvt 3: Seduction. I find it very unique that in Mvt 3, the Marimba Soloist, whilst Percussion still doing a groove, gets to trade off various solos with anyone in the orchestra. Truly amazing! Again, this was by far the best Marimba Concerto/Symphony I've had the fortunate pleasure of experiencing. Great work Andrew Beall!
