George Rochberg: Piano Music,Vol. 1 - Circles of Fire

Hirsch-Pinkas Piano Duo

"There is a fire in the brain, in the mind, which comes from the universal fire that makes solar systems and galaxies, asteroid belts and comets, huge orbiting spirals, circles, loops that bend back on themselves in giant symmetries and stream out across millions of miles in giant asymmetries. What we humans call music is the perfect expression of this utterly fantastic image." (George Rochberg)

Press Reviews

Collectors Reviews

"As pianist Evan Hirsch admits, [Circles of Fire] poses a significant challenge to performers and listeners alike, but when heard as Rochberg composed it, it 'offers a window into the entire universe of Western art music, and into the darkest and lightest reaches of the human soul'. That might sound platitudinous, but Circles of Fire is ambitious, impressive stuff, and I don't think it would be an exaggeration to place it on the same level of importance as Messiaen's Visions de l'Amen. Your investment will be repaid."
