Wolfgang Rihm says he is one of the most performed, most discussed and most successful living composers. And one of the most productive, as well: word has it that his opus numbers would already be far above four hundred, were he to assign such, while his expositors and commentators have already identified three distinct "creative periods". Presumably, more will be added, since
Rihm's oeuvre is growing as continually and fluidly as his five (so far) "Symphonies fleuves". As his friend, the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk, characterizes him, "Plenitude is his credo, and the stream which arises anew in flowing is his element." Rihm's confession, his "Donaueschingen Creed" of 1974, so bold for that time, has since lost none of its authority: "Music must be full of emotion, the emotion full of complexity."

This is a recording certain to be welcomed by all fans of 20th century music - and a celebration of one of Europe's most extraordinary musical minds.
