“To watch Makoto Nakura whirl through a Johann Sebastian Bach gigue on the marimba is to witness musical channeling at its best. Bach’s profound spirit shines through on an instrument associated more with Latin rumbas rather than 18th-century polyphony. He played the marimba with an illusionist’s ease and a virtuoso’s speed and flair. This was no gimmick.”
