Complete Works for Piano Solo on CD

Max Reger Complete Works of Piano solo 12 CD

"Reger was, after all, a concert pianist, and he clearly had a good ear for the instrument's capabilities. Working in the 20th century meant that the instrument he had in mind was closer to today's grands than anything Beethoven, Schumann or even Brahms would have known. So when he wants to put some weight into climaxes, or even sudden sforzandos, he can rely on the instrument itself to provide the drama. He often helps it out by adding octave doublings, but these are always skilfully integrated into the contrapuntal textures. Markus Becker gives excellent performances of these works."
