Info for Reger: Organ Works, Vol. 15

Max Reger is regarded by many as the greatest German composer of organ music since Bach, whose traditions he developed in the wide variety of hymn settings to be found in the 52 Easy Chorale Preludes. Reger’s contrapuntal mastery and contrasting moods are present in the first of three volumes of Monologues, Op. 63, which opens with an impressive and monumental Prelude. The Postludium in D minor is a fitting conclusion to the programme. The E. M. Skinner organ in the Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, Chicago, is one of four University instruments considered amongst the finest examples of 20th century romantic organs built in America.
