To celebrate composer Wolfgang Rihm's 60th birthday, Wergo presents this selection of his music for organ. In Rihm's works, the organ holds a special position as his instrument of choice for adventures in compositional self-discovery. The works heard here span his entire career, from the early Drei Fantasien to the more recent Bann, Nachtschwermerei. Performed by young organist Dominik Susteck the disc features the organ of St. Peter's Art Station in Cologne. The instrument's unusually large number of overtone registers as well as specially constructed registers for new music makes it's unique in the world.
