MAX REGER: ORCHESTRAL SONGS
Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz · Gregor Bühl
Up to today, it has largely remained unnoticed that Max Reger, who enlarged his oeuvre work by work in literal ‘piece work’, again and again turned to arranging works by others in order ‘to recuperate’ from his own composition. Whereas Reger’s original works for voice and orchestra are mainly related to the genre of the orchestral song with a tradition cultivated in France, but also in England, the arrangements were largely composed following performance-technical considerations.
