Reger: Complete Music for Two Pianos

Piano Duo Trenkner

Reger: Introduction, Passacaglia & Fugue Op. 96
Reger: Variationen und Fuge über ein Thema von Beethoven Op. 86
Reger: Variations & Fugue on a theme by Mozart Op. 132a

The three duos, all of them variation works, were composed within a period of ten years and served as visiting cards for the highly imaginative Reger. They revolve around the three great heroes of music history: Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven. Reger worked with absolute meticulousness in what he called "absolutely splendid" and "spectacular" scores until "every little note was calculated with the greatest precision for the sound." "... a complete delight." (Fanfare) MDG 930 1908: "The 'Rite of Spring' played by two players at one keyboard, which opens the disc, might seem a mere curiosity, but is much more than that. It is a valid alternative version…" (MusicWeb)
