Advice From a Qualified Professional, June 16, 2002
This review is from: Pianovision (Audio CD)
As a professional pianist, I seem to love listening to piano above other instruments. Of course, my "qualification" may serve as a warning. Maybe I listen to piano differently than civilians (as I call non-pianists).
I first heard Sandra Tsing Loh's piano music on "This American Life", a show on the radio. Her piano music is haunting, but also often lively and fun. Loh uses unusual modes and unusual off-balance meters. It's like new age because of the use of the less emphatic modes. But it isn't as introverted, as new age music can be, because of the jaunty rhythms.
The CD has some recurrence of ideas when I would have been just as happy to hear more of Loh's different ideas, but it is a satisfying collection of pieces. Thanks, Sandra, for your music and your great stories on the radio!

hard to believe, March 5, 2006

It's hard to believe this is the same person who does the Loh Life and the Loh Down on Science. Genius comes in many forms for this artist. We are lucky to have her on earth with us for however brief a moment.
