Orgelwerke Teil 17 (Phantasie Über Den Choral "Freu' Dich Sehr, O Meine Seele" Op. 30 / Aus: Monologe. Zwölf Stücke Für Die Orgel Op. 63: Nr.5, Nr.6 / Phantasie Über Den Choral "Ein Feste Burg Ist Unser Gott" Op. 27)

Released in 1974 on the Da Camera Magna label, this recording is part of an extensive series dedicated to the organ works of German composer Max Reger. Reger, a central figure in late Romantic music, was known for his complex, dense contrapuntal style and his deep engagement with the Lutheran chorale tradition. This specific volume, interpreted by organist Martin Weyer, gathers significant late 19th-century works including his fantasia on 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott', showcasing the technical rigor and emotional depth characteristic of Reger's output.

The Da Camera Magna label, based in Heidelberg, was instrumental in documenting specialized classical repertoires during the 1960s and 70s. This series was designed to provide a comprehensive survey of Reger's expansive organ catalog for an academic and enthusiast audience. The production reflects the label's commitment to high-fidelity documentation of liturgical and concert organ music, prioritizing clarity of the instrument's tonal spectrum over commercial embellishment, which contributed to the label's reputation for serious archival preservation.
