Max Reger - Romance for Viola and Piano (1901);
Max Reger - Three Suites for Solo Viola, Op.131d
Max Reger - Sonata for Viola and Piano in Bb Major, Op. 107
"Max Reger (1873-1916) is much better
known than is his music.
Anybody who is at all acquainted with the chronology of "classical"
music is familiar with the name of Reger. Though he left behind
him a very substantial oeuvre and though he has never lacked passionate
supporters, few people beyond the circle of serious organ buffs
can actually whistle a theme by Reger - unless they happen to have
heard his Mozart Variations. This disc provides a new approach to
a great composer by focusing on his writing for the viola. Though
the chamber-music repertoire for the viola is limited, there is
an illustrious roster of composers who have given it serious attention.
One thinks immediately of Brahms and Shostakovich who turned to
the instrument at the very ends of their lives, of Hindemith who
brought to his composing all the insights into the instrument that
he had acquired as one of the great performers on the viola, and
of Mozart who "doubled" the instrument to such effect in his immortal
string quintets."
