About
With this new release the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir under Daniel Reuss pay tribute to Max Reger (1873-1916) and Rudolf Tobias (1873-1918)
In his collection of sacred and secular songs, Reger connects them with nature and its rhythm.
Rudolf Tobias uses more secular texts for his songs. Two of the most famous ones – “Eks teie tea” and “Otsekui hirv” – are included on this release and offer a stunning introduction to his music.
The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir is one of the world’s finest choral ensembles and internationally praised for its stunning sound.
Daniel Reuss is one of today’s most acclaimed choral conductors. Alongside his two ensembles, the Capella Amsterdam and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, he is a frequent guest at international concert venues across the world and has won many awards for his recordings.

Stylistically, [Tobias] is a sort of Baltic Bairstow...transcendental without being revolutionary, intimate, not vain, and highly responsive to text and atmosphere. Reger, by contrast, favours more luxuriant textures...the Estonian choristers relish the curvaceous lines of the Op. 6 songs
