About
Recorded in Trier Cathedral, Germany, 4-5 June 2013.
Reger’s contrapuntal mastery has earned him the accolade of the greatest German composer for organ since Bach. Though a Catholic he drew on Lutheran traditions as can be heard in his Easy Chorale Preludes, Op. 67. Totalling 52 in number, in three volumes, the first fifteen are performed here by Josef Still, one of Reger’s most critically admired contemporary champions, whose performance in Volume 9 of this series (8555905) was dubbed ‘utterly compelling’ by Gramophone.

This generously filled disc is cleanly recorded and makes a satisfying programme...[Still] pilots his 67-stop Klais with complete assurance, drawing a wide range of softer timbres, although there are times when uncoupled pedal registers sound woolly.
