Christoph Spering, Chorus Musicus Köln and Das Neue Orchester featuring Anke Vondung and Tobias Berndt
Marking the 150th anniversary of the birth of Max Reger, this album presents several notable works by the composer that remain relatively unknown: three orchestral songs and the ‘Hebbel’ Requiem. Scored for solo vocal, choral and orchestral forces, they are conceived on a large scale typical of the time, in contrast with Mahler’s somewhat simpler Rückert-Lieder that are also on the programme. Reger’s Requiem displays parallels with Brahms’ A German Requiem and was Reger’s memorial to German soldiers killed in the war.
