„Alles kommt ans Licht“

He did not fall from the sky, but was the heir. Like a gardener, Wolfgang Rihm accompanies the development of his works. Some flourish more quickly, others need more time. But all of them are deeply rooted in the humus of a humanistic education, in a realm of the spirit in which the past is preserved and present without giving way to empty traditionalism: art responds to art. The current conversations in this volume on his 70th birthday allow the composer to speak in a self-portrait: Confession, retrospect, outlook.
