Adler, Christopher - Epilogue For A Dark Day
SKU
TZ8004
A remarkable young composer out of the Lou Harrison mold and a virtuoso on the khaen mouth organ, Christopher Adler splits his time between California and Thailand where he collaborates with many of the country's greatest classical musicians. For his first cd he has chosen a varied program of solo music and ensembles blending traditional Thai classical instruments with those of the West. Featuring music for percussion ensemble, an evocative trio for khaen, violin and viola, a large ensemble work for Thai classical instruments and a few virtuosic solos for mouth organ, this is beautiful cross cultural music with honesty, imagination and a deep sense of respect for tradition.
