Inspired to follow a career in music after attending a performance
of Wagner's Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, celebrated composer Max
Reger began his musical endeavours as an organist. His
compositional style gradually developed, and today his name is
synonymous with the schools of Brahms and Beethoven, his two
greatest influences.This extensive collection provides a showcase
of Reger's finest music. Although the composer generally avoided
large-scale works such as the symphony, some of his Variations
nevertheless have a symphonic feel: the J.A. Hiller Variations,
which enjoyed much popularity during the composer's lifetime; the
resplendent Fugue finale of the Beethoven Variations; and the
Mozart Variations, long considered a masterpiece. The selection
also includes his Concertos, both of which have a distinctly
Brahmsian quality, his magnificent Chorale Preludes for organ, as
well as music for voice -- including the renowned Lied To Hope,
reminiscent of Wagner's Tristan, the Hymn of Love and several
sacred songs. Reger further proved his versatility by writing A
Ballet Suite, something so unlike anything else he had written that
the composer himself said of it: '[this] could be by any other
composer, just not by me.'The collection boasts a wealth of
acclaimed conductors, soloists and orchestras including, among
others, violinist Walter Hartwich, organist Wouter van den Broek,
and conductors Heinz Rögner and Otmar Suitner.Other information:-In
