Reger: Requiem - Mahler: Orchestral Songs
) | Label: CAPRICCIO Catalog: C5512 Format: COMPACT DISC Berndt, Tobias; Spering, Christoph; Das Neue Orchester; Vondung, Anke; Chorus Musicus KölnIn celebration of the 150th Anniversary this Album focus on still less-known but exceptional sensitive and impressive Choral Symphonic and Orchestra songs by Max Reger. With these works, Reger entirely adhered to the trend of the time; the large-scale idea, which would have had no place in the operas of the period, is transferred to the concert hall, so to speak, and is as far removed from the "simple" orchestral song as some of Mahler's Rückert-Lieder. The Hebbel Requiem, Op. 144b includes audible parallels with Johannes Brahms‘s German Requiem and was Reger’s memorial for the German soldiers killed in the war.  Price: $30.98 |
