Tianwa Yang, violin & Nicholas Rimmer, piano. Wolfgang Rihm is one of the world"'s most eminent and prolific composers.

Each draws on a wide range of influences, from folk-like moments, embedded quotations and dazzlingly virtuosic episodes. They reflect the breadth of Rihm"'s various changing styles, which are almost unique in today"'s music in marrying contemporary technique with emotionally powerful resonances.
