Rihm/ Falkner - Piano Works 1966-2000

The prolific composer Wolfgang Rihm's music is unpredictable, with wide mood swings and shocking juxtapositions between harsh utter violence and gentle, lovely sounds. = "The tension between sound attacks and fragile silence runs like a "red thread" throughout these recordings, and for the pianist it is a mental, emotional and physical challenge, which he presents with audible passion."
