Reger Vol. 5 – played on historical instruments from Reger’s days. ‘These recordings number among the best currently available of Reger’s organ music’ (Musik & Theater, Vol. 4). Vol. 5 again contains two SACDs offering the very best of surround sound. The focus of this disc is pieces from Reger’s Monologues Op. 63, Op. 65, and Op. 67. The Twelve Pieces, Op. 65 number amongst his anthologies that consist of shorter organ pieces. In contrast to his major full-length organ compositions, these pieces, not without their own considerable appeal, were intended at least in some parts for use in religious services and above all for organists with more modest skills – which does not mean that they should be undervalued simply because of their degree of difficulty. On CD 1 organist Gerhard Weinberger performs on the Wilhelm Sauer-Orgel in der Michaeliskirche Leipzig, and on CD 2 the Furtwängler & Hammer-Orgel in St. Nicolai Lüneburg UPC.
