Description
A survey of Simon Holt's piano music recorded by Rolf Hind - for whom Nigredo was composed - dedicated to Holt's publisher (and NMC's former chairman) Bill Colleran; it covers the Goya-inspired Tauromaquia, Black Lanterns, title work a book of colours, and new series Klop's Last Bite - described by the composer as 'an insect snuff-movie'.
Additionally a book of shadow, which could not be included on the CD for reasons of space, can be downloaded from NMC's webshop .
