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.
