Orgelwerke Teil 11 (3 Orgelstücke Op.7 / Zwei Choralvorspiele Ohne Opuszahl / Sechs Trios Für Orgel Op.47)

Released in 1973 by the German label Da Camera Magna, this recording is part of an extensive project to document the complete organ works of Max Reger. Heinz Lohmann, a noted organist and scholar, performed the selection, which includes the Opus 7 pieces, two chorale preludes, and the Opus 47 trios. The label, known for its dedication to high-quality classical and liturgical recordings, sought to preserve these technically demanding works within the acoustic settings of historical instruments.

Max Reger, writing in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, was deeply influenced by the German Baroque tradition, particularly J.S. Bach, yet he infused his compositions with dense chromaticism and complex structural innovation. This specific installment highlights his mastery of the organ as both a vehicle for virtuosic display and introspective, contrapuntal exploration. The series was generally received by enthusiasts of late Romantic music as an essential reference for understanding Reger's intricate contrapuntal textures and his significant contribution to the organ repertoire.
