Rihm: Violin Sonata; Hekton; Antlitz; Phantom und Eskapade: Hoelscher/ Mauser. Antlitz and the "piece fantasies" Phantom und Eskapade date from the 1990s and represent the mature Rihm, a composer confidently revelling in his compositional freedom while respecting the obligation to be faithful to his musical material. What all the pieces have in common, though, is a unswerving concentration on expressive essences; that is as true of the fiercely declamatory solo with which the Sonata opens as it is of the chilly, interior world inhabited by Antlitz, or the more protean, discursory forays of Phantom und Eskapade

The gorgeous voice of Christoph Prégardien graces this album of contemporary works by Wolfgang Rihm, accompanied by the gifted Siegfried Mauser on piano. It is a most unusual, unique album of 20th and 21st century lieder, where the text has a particular emphasis in the creation of the music (the liner notes go into detail on this point). From the start of the song cycle Ende der Handschrift, Prégardien's baritone-like tenor shines with its clean, well-placed sound.

Wolfgang Rihm Composer. Siegfried Mauser (pf). Wolfgang Rihm Composer. Phantom und Eskapade. The liner-notes point out Rihm’s fondness for analogies with drawing and painting; Antlitz bears the subtitle ‘Drawing for Violin and Piano’, and without wishing to take the composer too literally there is often a feeling of doodling; if that seems a double-edged characterisation, its precise interpretation will doubtless vary from listener to listener. What is beyond question is the commitment of the performances
