About

East Meets West offers a series of geographical and musical connections that bind the music of Ian Krouse (‘One of the most communicative young composers on the music scene today’Gramophone) and Ronald Pearl, whose guitar music is performed worldwide. The album includes the first recording in its 2009 revision of Krouse’s Roderick Usher’s ‘Phantasmion’, as well as the eloquent tone poem, The Little Match Girl, and his version of a Hassidic song. Pearl’s My Name is Red is inspired by Orhan Pamuk’s novel and reveals a range of Islamic influences.

Gramophone has called Ian Krouse ‘one of the most communicative and intriguing young composers on the music scene today’. His Symphony no.5 is on Naxos 8559907: ‘This orchestral album reflects an important aspect of his work as a public composer with a powerfully eclectic commemorative voice’ (BBC Music Magazine).
