David Moliner - Marimba (2025) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

With Marimba, David Moliner presents an extraordinary album that places this unique instrument and its manifold colors and sounds at its core. Moliner’s masterful arrangements and two original works composed specifically for the instrument take listeners on a sonic journey through the centuries, combining both technical skill and creative expression.

The album brings together works from various epochs and styles. Particularly notable is his arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Cello Suites, which he transforms into new, polyphonic textures using his four Marimba mallets. Moliner successfully combines Bach’s rhythmic pulse and musical complexity with the Marimba’s unique tonal color.

In addition to the Baroque works, the album also features pieces by Claude Debussy and Franz Schubert. Moliner brings a new dimension to Debussy’s impressionistic Arabesques, allowing the Marimba to bloom in a delicate, almost pictorial soundscape. Schubert’s romantic Impromptu, transcribed by Moliner for Marimba, unfolds in its poetic beauty and gains expressive depth through the instrument’s distinct timbre. Another highlight is the composition Jalak Suren by contemporary composer Alexander Liebermann, inspired by the bird songs of Indonesia. Moliner brings the subtle melodies and rhythmic structures of this music to life, allowing the Marimba to shine as a sensitive storyteller of a musical nature portrait.
