Anders Brødsgaard (b. 1955) is a rare compositional talent and a strong, richly faceted voice in Danish musical life. His major one-movement orchestral work Galaxy is constructed as one long hypnotic spiral motion, taking place in a zone of weightlessness, in unpredictable patterns and soft collisions. Coupled with the extremely diverting Monk's Mixtures for small orchestra, Galaxy offers the full view of a composer who draws on his heritage and at the same time is constantly on his way towards new horizons.
