Overview

Part of the prestigious Naxos Organ Encyclopedia, this second volume of Max Reger's organ works presents a profound exploration of his complex and deeply spiritual compositions. Max Reger, a towering figure of the German late-Romantic period, was known for his mastery of counterpoint and his ability to push the boundaries of tonal harmony. Expertly performed by world-renowned organist Ludger Lohmann, this recording features the monumental Introduction, Passacaglia and Fugue in E minor, alongside more intimate Choral Preludes and diverse character pieces. The lush, authentic sound is captured on the historic Link Organ in Giengen, Germany, providing a truly immersive listening experience.

Interesting Facts

  • The "New Bach": Reger was often viewed as a successor to Johann Sebastian Bach, particularly in his prolific output of organ music and his dedication to traditional forms like the fugue and choral prelude.
  • Technical Mastery: Ludger Lohmann is considered one of the leading authorities on Romantic organ music; his technical precision is essential for navigating Reger's notoriously difficult scores.
  • Spiritual Depth: The Choral Preludes, Op. 135a included on this disc are based on traditional German hymns, reflecting Reger's deep roots in the Lutheran musical tradition.
  • Historic Instrument: The Link Organ in the Evangelical Church of Giengen is a rare example of a well-preserved late-Romantic instrument, making it the perfect vehicle for Reger's thick, orchestral textures.
  • The Giant of Weiden: Max Reger was a larger-than-life character, known for his immense appetite for both work and life, often composing at an incredible speed despite health struggles.
