In Motion explores the many ways music captures movement - through rhythm, dance, the passing of time, and the ever-changing colors of sound. Saxophonist Andreas Mader joins an exceptional ensemble of friends under the direction of Pit Brosius in a vibrant program that reimagines masterpieces by Ibert, Villa-Lobos, Ravel, de Falla, Caroline Shaw and Dubois. New arrangements place the saxophone at the heart of an intimate chamber ensemble, revealing fresh perspectives on familiar works while celebrating the instrument’s remarkable expressive range. Inspired by the idea that “time, like the tide, its motion keeps,” the album unfolds as a journey of energy, elegance and constant transformation. 

Recorded in the outstanding acoustic of Trifolion Echternach in Luxembourg and captured in high-definition sound by Bert van der Wolf-Oude Avenhuis of Northstar Recording, In Motion combines artistic imagination with exceptional sonic clarity. The result is an album that invites listeners into an immersive musical landscape where classical tradition, rhythmic vitality and contemporary creativity come together in performances of warmth, virtuosity and irresistible momentum.
