I guess that Rihm is actually best known for his String Quartetts.  I
can't judge actually, but I thought them fairy equal to many other SQ's:
Cage, Dutilleux, Kagel.  I thought I heard a beautiful and good recording
of Bruno Maderna SQ's with the Arditti Quartett.  But it showed up to
be the Arditti recording of the Cages SQs.  I got it send to me in a
package together with Oskar Frieds, might I say, rather surprising
Mahler.
