Premiere recording of “Nintendo Music”

Nintendo Music, for clarinet in A and piano, has recently been recorded by Marcel Luxen (clarinet) and Shane Thio (piano).

For a sneak peak check out Marcel’s site at http://www.marcelluxen.com/live/ and click on the Listen tag at the bottom of the image on the new page.

It’s a wonderful recording and captures the joy of 8 bit gaming very well. I am told by other clarinettists that successfully performing some of this piece is as difficult as beating Battletoads, so this fabulous recording is a great achievement.
