Aribert Reimann At 85

Mar. 01, 2021

We offer Aribert Reimann our heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of his 85th birthday.

In his already substantial compositional output, Schott composer Aribert Reimann has created a rich collection of compositions which have unquestionably exerted an influence on contemporary music theatre. Reimann's unmistakable personal style is characterised by strict logic and highly complex tonal structures which are finely chiselled down to the smallest detail. At the same time, his music possesses a powerful innate emotionality which directly captures his listeners. This is borne out by his instrumental works and vocal compositions, and to a particular degree, his operas, which are considered among the most significant contirbutions to the late 20th and early 21st-century operatic canon. Reimann primarily selects his plots from world literature and transforms them into unique forms through his own musical language.

We wish Aribert Reimann many more happy returns and look forward to continuing our long and rewarding collaboration.
