Wolfgang Riehm is a prominent figure in the European new music scene. Riehm's early work, combining contemporary techniques with the emotional volatility of Mahler and of Schoenberg's early expressionist period, was regarded by many as a revolt against the avant-garde generation of Boulez and Stockhausen (with whom he studied). This disc offers a portrait of Riehm's recent compositions, including the fascinating recorder concerto Au bord d'une source, which is loosely based on Franz Liszt's Années de Pèlerinage.
