Musical Revolutionaries



With a scandal which was founded in Amsterdam in 1978
Loeki Stardust Recorder Quartet entered the international musical scene:
On the Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges in 1981 presented it to the
jury his editing a song by Stevie Wonder, violated hereby clear of the
competition rules and wore still a sovereign victory. 
since then dedicated to breathing life into his equally idiosyncratic
interpretations as true to this day, the ensemble under the eyes of a
fascinated public musical world of his passion, the music for recorders
of the renaissance. The unique collection of the ensemble of over a
hundred Renaissance, Baroque and modern recorders -
from sopranino only 20 cm long up to three meters high Subkontrabassflöte
- sets Loeki Stardust also in a position to develop new recorders for
contemporary music an important say a say.  Nocturne With his latest CD,
the ensemble fills the gap between the apotheosis of Baroque flute music
and avant-garde experimentation. During the 18th Century belonged to the
Recorder in everyday practice not to Favorites instruments.
The Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet together with this recording,
a bridge between the music for recorders from the heyday of the instrument
during the Renaissance and the Baroque up to the gates of
the new music of the 20th and 21 Century.
