Reger: Complete Organ Works (16 CDs)

Max Reger (1873-1916) was the greatest German composer for organ after Johann Sebastian Bach. His extensive series of works for the instrument include the popular Toccata and Fugue in D minor and Fantasy and Fugue on B-A-C-H, the Symphonic Fantasia and Fugue, which he called his most technically challenging, and the glorious sequence of Choral Preludes, a body of work of huge complexity and transparency that reveals an inexhaustible variety and invention. Recorded over a fifteen-year period in stunning digital sound, this critically acclaimed series, now available in one all-encompassing 16CD box, features Reger’s complete organ music played by twelve internationally admired organists – Wolfgang Rubsam, Christian Barthen, Josef Still and Kirsten Sturm among them – on seven different organs.
