Europe-wide there are not many musicians, who have committed themselves entirely to the hurdy-gurdy. Virtuosos, who sustainably widen the ancestral horizon of this instrument, are even more rare. Matthias Loibner has played and studied folk and baroque music. He was the first to record Joseph Haydn’s compositions for Lira Organizzata, the organ lyre, as well as pieces from Vivaldi and Chedeville. But furthermore, Loibner entered new terrain for the hurdy-gurdy, was inspired by traditional music from the Balkans to East Africa, interpreted Schubert’s “Winterreise” [Winter Journey], fathoms connections to jazz and experiments with electronics.
