Biography

The Amsterdam Loeki Stardust Quartet is a Dutch recorder ensemble founded in 1978 by Daniël Brüggen, Bertho Driever, Paul Leenhouts, and Karel van Steenhoven. The quartet achieved international recognition after winning second prize at the 1981 Musica Antiqua Bruges competition for an unconventional arrangement of a Stevie Wonder song. Their repertoire encompasses music from all eras, with a focus on Renaissance, Baroque, and twentieth-century compositions. The ensemble performed regularly at major festivals in London, Berlin, and Sapporo and was invited by Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands to perform on four occasions between 1998 and 2009. Their discography includes Virtuoso Recorder Music in 1985, Die Kunst der Fuge in 1998, and Fantazia in 2001. After Driever and Leenhouts left the group, they were replaced by Daniel Koschitzki and Andrea Ritter. The ensemble disbanded in November 2007 following internal conflicts, though the four founders regrouped in 2008 for a final 30th-anniversary world tour.
