Conrado Moya Signature Series

Marimba mallets | Marimba One

The new marimba mallets series created by Conrado Moya together with Marimba One has been especially designed to be played with big orchestras, band, choirs, and percussion ensembles. They are also delicate enough to be used in the most intimate chamber music and solo works. The amount of articulation and dynamics are unlimited.

Its six models with different hardnesses try to obtain the maximum projection of sound and range of overtones. With its heavy weighted core and tight tension in its yarn, they also achieve clear articulation with a very warm texture, even with the hardest mallets.

After several years of development, we have finally managed to reach that sound that I was so much looking for in the marimba: a warmer sound, with a bigger sound body and great projection, without sacrificing clarity in the articulation.

With this line I can go further and substantially enrich the textural and stylistic possibilities that I need for my interpretation.

Albert Guinovart

Works for Symphonic Band

2025, L'Auditori

Among the most emblematic works for symphonic band by the Catalan composer and pianist Albert Guinovart (b. 1962), the marimba concerto Tres paisatges pictòrics stands out, commissioned by Conrado Moya and performed by the soloist himself on this album. In each of its three movements, Guinovart evokes soundscapes inspired by celebrated paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, Giovanni Bellini, and Henri Rousseau, in which the virtuosity and expressive power of the marimba highlight the composer’s lyrical and intimate musical universe. The program is completed by the Sinfonía Gaudí and the fantasy Barcelona, all performed by the Barcelona Municipal Band under the baton of José Rafael Pascual Vilaplana.

Bach: Goldberg Variations

2020, Mons Records

The Goldberg Variations, BWV 988, are considered to be one of Johann Sebastian Bach’s greatest masterpieces and one of the finest examples of polyphonic art in the history of music. Katarzyna Myćka and Conrado Moya confront this technical and musical challenge in a duo for marimbas: a pioneer project which strictly observes the rules of Baroque interpretation and ornamentation, and also explores and makes use of the enormous sound potential of modern marimbas. In doing so, the audience is given an unprecedented perspective which puts the marimba on a whole new plane as a musical instrument.
