She is AMAZING!
:yes: Alas, many years back I had the opportunity to see her in concert but not knowing who she was at the time, I passed it up!
She is AMAZING!
Listening to her Greatest Hits album on MOG. You're right, as always. This sure ain't the Baja Marimba Band.

US
I've been looking for a copy of that one for a long time.
I've come close to snagging the BASF original a couple of times, but alas...
This USA version leaves a bit to be desired in the mastering/pressing. But it's not too bad.
If you want to look for a really hard-to-find Orff recording, try Musikalisches Hausbuch, Harmonia Mundi KHB 20374 (1973). My original got warped and it took me years to find another good copy to rip. It's on my list of 10 desert island recordings. And, yes, lots of marimba.

I hadn't heard of her before this post. I don't know why. My CD of Wind In The Bamboo Grove just came today and I've been listening to all of her work on MOG. Fantastic talent.
Until now, my favorite marimba player has always been Ruth Underwood, who played with Zappa for years.
But I did grab this one. We'll see if VG/E means anything.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Good price. In the years I was looking for another copy they weren't that easy to find.
