This recording project unites as a first recording all of Max Reger’s arrangements for the organ in a coherent conception. In addition to all of Reger’s edited arrangements (Bach: Selected Piano Works, Schule des Triospiels, etc.), unprinted manuscripts, drafts, fragments, only verbally expressed plans of the composer (Liszt: Harmonies du soir) as well as two reconstruction attempts referring to them are included for the first time. In addition, the exciting attempt was made to open up all of Reger’s previously unfinished arrangement concepts for a practical performance realization. The 48-page manuscript fragment Bach RWV Bach-B3 gathers a total of five preludes and six fugues from both parts of the Well-Tempered Clavier. The Suite in G minor for small orchestra, here arranged for organ, shows Reger’s extremely free treatment of Bach’s models. Ulrich Walther’s arrangement of the Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Mozart attempts to make Reger’s probably most famous orchestral work accessible in a new way, although it is rarely heard in the concert hall. The production was created in cooperation with the Max Reger Institute. The music, which runs for over five hours, impressively conveys the exciting relationships between arrangement, interpretation and composition.
