Max Reger’s Sonatas for Solo Violin op.42 conclude this complete recording of his violin oeuvre. Opus 42 represents a supreme challenge for the Swedish violinist Ulf Wallin, both technically and musically. It is not without reason that Reger is strongly associated with “chromatic polyphony”.

In his late oeuvre Reger’s great love for Mozart is reflected in his efforts to achieve transparency and simplicity. Reger himself described his works as very difficult technically and came to the conclusion that they usually intimidated interpreters – but not Ulf Wallin, who outstandingly meets and masters this challenge.
