Information:
ClassiQuest has presented a number of Mr. Loeb's recordings. Many mix Western and Eastern instruments in fascinating combinations and sound-worlds and this disc is no different.
The Prelude for Two Consorts is composed for the two Early Music Ensembles listed above. Rivermist in Summer is for khaen, a Laotian-Thai mouth organ. Fantasia on Pyong-si-jo No. 2 is for traditional instruments but based on the same Korean melody as No. 1 in this series. The Meeting of Sea and Clouds was inspired by a trip off the Majorcan coast. Two Views of the Silent Waterfall describes a waterfall in a remote part of Ohara, the north end of Kyoto. Riddles is written for solo bass koto and finally, a work of traditional sound world by this composer in the Quartet.
Among Mr. Loeb's many awards are prizes from the Viola da Gamba Societies of the UK, US and Japan, and from the Andres Segovia Centennial Competition in Spain. David Loeb's thesis on Japanese koto music was published by Columbia University Press.
