Odessa by M. Lorrick played by Miroslav Dimov
I'm so happy that this piece is dedicated to me!
Played in the hall of National academy of music " prof. Pantcho Vladigerov "
Special thanks to Antonia Barulova for this amazing video montage!

[@DeeboComing]

I just performed Yellow After the Rain last week. I think I'll give this a try next.

[@nemethtamas1100]

I think you try an easier piece for exemple Alice Gomez Rain Dance

[@DeeboComing]

I just have achieved supior rating at the state solo and ensemble contest with this piece as a junior in high school, and I can't thank you enough for performing this piece so well and showing me what it takes to put emotion and dedication into something and that every last second is worth it. Thank you.

[@brandonnesmith8051]

Whoever wrote this has a lot of variety in their composure! There's a lot of galactic vibes in this, and then suddenly STEREOTYPICAL SPANISH BULL FIGHTING! Proceeded by more galactic groove. And the mallets and marimba sound quality add to this effect of variety. I love this in so many ways! Well played.

You're a true inspiration to all be that percussively or not! 😃💯💯

I played this last year as a sophomore in high school and have yet to find a solo i love as much as this one. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched this video and how much inspiration I’ve taken from it. Thank you for playing this and to Matthew for composing it. A true masterpiece.

this has to be one of the most impressive marimba performances i've seen, this is wonderful

[@bodekaanta83]

This is probably my second favorite marimba solo, second to Undertale Variations. I just wish that I had a 5 octave marimba available to practice this piece on.

[@michaelhutson1631]

Actually a lot of this piece is doable without a 5 octave but sadly the last 32nd note run and some chords are not possible on a 4.5

[@ARandomGuitarist]

Oh my gosh this is absolutely amazing.

[@TheEverlong12]

I'm speechless!

[@ThatCheapDrummer]

You should re-record this with better video and audio quality. This is the best performance of the piece on KZbin, but it has bad quality sound and video.

[@williamshipercussion]

totally agree

[@hauptmannbalalaika]

Some people can never be satisfied and you are discouraging people. People make little or no money from music these days, not here or elsewhere so there is a limit to what young people should spend their time and effort on because when they get older they need financial reserves which music does not offer any more. I was extremely impressed by the skill and the piece - my compliments Miroslav. We used to be in the arts; whatever you do there's always someone coming up with clever advice, knowing what to do.

[@ThatCheapDrummer]

@@hauptmannbalalaika That was a bit of an overreaction. I said this is the BEST performance I have seen of this piece (that statement still stands 2 years later as evidenced by me returning to the video). All I was inferring was that it's a shame that such a top notch performance has meh audio and video. No harm meant :)

[@JohnJohn-ir5hw]

@@ThatCheapDrummer Well, it's nice that the ladies and gentlemen can share in civilized discourse. Kudos to ThatCheapDrummer for keeping cool, especially since Ally Haup-Gurski's comment is fodder for the Manipulative Turd Regime that attempts to conceal brainwashing and mind-control as SUGGESTION (shame on you Turds). Regarding ThatCheapDrummer's sound quality comment: it is very relevant because within the first minute of this excellent performer's video, I found myself DISCOURAGED because I had to turn the volume down and back up, and down again, and back up. The HARSH attack of the mallets-on-bars hurt my ears...then, it didn't...then it did. THAT is the PERFORMER'S choices/preferences regarding INTERPRETATION of the COMPOSER'S written information, and I am not and will not pretend that me judging the performer's choices is just, warranted, valuable, or anything other than something personal to me. But... it's my right to make such observations, and it's anyone's right to make any SUGGESTIONS regarding the presentation. So, CONTRARY to Ally's manipulative comment, it is the PERFORMANCE/RECORDING that DISCOURAGED this listener. ThatCheapDrummer's comment actually ENCOURAGED me. Christ...hey... (oh, yeah...did I mention that I think the marimbist is a really skilled one?).

As someone who playing Northampton for S&E last year, this piece is actually surprisingly much easier than I thought to learn. It’s just the octave note accuracy that’s the hardest part

maybe try something with rattan shafts. it might be a technique issue. Even when striking the bars with extreme force similar to Dimov in this video, you should still be focused on pulling the sound out of the bar, not beating it into submission and forcing it to sing.
