About the present and successful CPO Reger edition, music lovers and critics continue to be more than enthusiastic about the previous installments, Musik & Theater even claiming: “These recordings are among the best currently available in terms of organ music by Reger”.


Here the focus is on Reger’s Opus 67. In May 1901, Reger informed Straube of his intention to “write 30 chorale preludes to the best-known chorales”. In the course of time, the project grew to 52 preludes. In the letter of October 22, 1902 to the publishing house Lauterbach & Kuhn in Leipzig, Reger wrote with regard to the collection Zweiundfünfzig leicht ausführbare Vorspiele zu den gebräuchlichsten evangelischen Chorälen, Op. 67 that he could “probably say without arrogance that no such collection has been published since Johann Sebastian Bach”. In fact, Reger is to be agreed here without any reservations: Reger’s Op. 67 is a work that can be compared to Bach’s Orgelbüchlein in terms of content, scope and pedagogical intention.
