Percussion masterworks meet art cinema in this state-of-the art-production.

The seven works included are cornerstones of contemporary percussion music, and each becomes here a short film in its own right by director Christian Holten Bonke.
This disc is universal-play (Region 0) and doublesided PAL/NTSC so will play in any country.
