The Latin palindrome that frames Anders Brødsgaard's powerful piano cycle In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, means 'we circle in the night and are consumed by fire'. It is searingly intense music that surrounds and holds the listener with a maelstrom of hypnotic circular movements. Along the way we encounter movement titles like Joker, Bacchanal and PyroMania, bearing witness to the unflagging energy that permeates Brødsgaard's music, and which comes to full expression in the English star pianist Rolf Hind's new premiere recording. The CD also includes Anders Brødsgaard's piano concerto, in which Rolf Hind is accompanied by the Esbjerg Ensemble conducted by Christopher Austin.
