Reminiszenz is a song cycle for tenor and large orchestra by Wolfgang Rihm composed in 2016 for the opening of the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.

Wolfgang Rihm received a commission from the NDR broadcaster to compose a work for the opening concert [de] of the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg.

[2] He created a song cycle for tenor and large orchestra in 2016,[3] based on four poems by Hans Henny Jahnn,[4] a playwright, author and organ builder[3] from Hamburg,[5] Peter Huchel, a German poet, and Walter Muschg [de], a Swiss author.

[8] A reviewer from The Guardian noted that the texts were bleak and the music "characteristically eclectic".

[5] A reviewer from the New York Times described the music as "rangy, difficult", "broody" and "arresting".
