If every work of art can be understood as the docile or rebellious descendant of dozens, indeed hundreds of other works of art, the immense majority of Wolfgang Rihm's compositions fully assume the heritage of the past. This is especially true of 'Nähe fern', whose title (‘Distant proximity') refers to his experience of the four symphonies of Brahms. Each of these pieces for orchestra is a homage profoundly linked with its model, yet at the same time constantly moving away from it. Commissioned by the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester, 'Nähe fern' was premiered at the Lucerne Festival on 20th August 2012.
Born in New York, James Gaffigan won first prize at the 2004 Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition. He is currently Chief Conductor of the Luzerna Sinfonieorchester and Principal Guest Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic and the Gürzenich-Orchester Köln. He is also in great demand with leading orchestras throughout the world.
“Each piece provides a gripping journey of discovery; Rihm's music continues to provide an experience quite unlike that of any other composer working today.” - Andrew Clements, The Guardian
