'note perfect, lucid, flamboyant and sensitive in equal measure and utterly compelling' - Gramophone Magazine on Josef Still's performance on 'Reger: Organ Works Vol. 4' Naxos 8.555905
Max Reger is regarded by many as the greatest German composer of organ music since Bach. On this ninth volume in Naxos's series, Josef Still, whose performances on Volume 4 (8.555905) were acclaimed as 'note perfect, lucid, flamboyant and sensitive in equal measure and utterly compelling' by the Gramophone, returns with another fascinating recital. The magisterial Variations and Fugue and Chorale Fantasia that flank other sacred and secular pieces on this disc musically embody Reger's famous remark, 'Other people write fugues-I live inside them.'
