Stephen Hartke is widely recognised as one of the leading composers of his generation. His individual voice is marked by a sense for melody and colour that follows in the tradition of Bartók and Messiaen. This collection offers the listener different sides of Hartke’s chamber music performed by one of America’s premiere chamber ensembles, the Los Angeles Piano Quartet. The surreal trio The Horse with the Lavender Eye of 1997 and the four selections from Post-modern Homages for solo piano here receive their premiere recording. The Sonata is a vivid three-movement work for solo piano while The King of the Sun, written for the Los Angeles Piano Quartet, takes its inspiration from paintings by Miró.

The concept that led to The Oberlin Concertos was initially hatched in a conversation between pianist and educator Xak Bjerken and a former student, Oberlin Conservatory composition professor Jesse Jones. It was Jones who suggested writing a chamber concerto to be premiered by his friend and mentor, and it was Bjerken-a former longtime member of the Los Angeles Piano Quartet and a veteran soloist with the L.A. Philharmonic and other ensembles-who was immediately hooked. Their plan gave rise to another commission-for the chair of Oberlin's Composition Department, Grammy Award-winner Stephen Hartke-and then another, for fellow composition faculty member Elizabeth Ogonek. The resulting works were recorded in three sessions over a two-year span, with Bjerken joining forces with Oberlin's Contemporary Music Ensemble and conductor Timothy Weiss in the conservatory's Clonick Hall studio, in addition to presenting the world- premiere performance of each piece on campus.
