This new recording contains three monumental organ works by Max Reger: the two Organ Sonatas and the B.A.C.H. Fantasy & Fugue.
The Organ Sonatas are not written in the traditional sonata form, but use
the generic title sonata for a 3 or 4 movement work of contrasting character. Both start with an improvisatory movement (called "improvisation' and 'fantasy'') followed by an intermezzo, which acts as the upbeat to a triumphant conclusion in strict contrapuntal style, a fugue or a passacaglia. The CD starts fittingly with an homage to Reger's idol Johan Sebastian Bach, the Fantasy & Fugue on B.A.C.H.
Italian master organist Adriano Falcioni chose for this recording the magnificent Tamburini organ (1967) of the Cathedral of Perugia, where he is titular organist. The full specifications of the organ are included in the booklet, which is written in English and Italian.
