About
Demonstrating great productivity, Reger wrote a large number of works in most musical genres, but today he is mainly remembered for his organ music and certain chamber works – his orchestral works often neglected.
Considered by many contemporary composers as one of the last ‘greats’, this box set is comprised of three separate discs that were previously released to critical acclaim.
