A triumph of the human spirit!
I recently had the opportunity to see Evelyn Glennie perform Veni, Veni, Emmanuel with my local symphony orchestra. I was, to put it mildly, flabbergasted. The piece requires equal parts musician and track star, as Ms. Glennie ran all over the stage playing various percussion instruments. My awe of the performance was compounded by Ms. Glennie's deafness. As I listened to the intricate part work, I spent more time marveling at Ms. Glennie's feat (and feet) than I did paying attention to the music itself. This disc let me hear what I missed. The music is intense, beautiful and moving. As a bonus for me, this disc allowed me to hear several other works by MacMillan, all of which are worth hearing.
