| | Max Reger |
 | | Reger himself was a magnificent organist and an acknowledged master of improvisation on the organ. | | | Max Reger's musical output spanned several genres, including choral works, but he is recognized and appreciated particularly as a composer of organ music. | | | Reger was a firm supporter of 'absolute' music and saw himself in a tradition going back to Bach, through Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms. |

| | Max REGER: String Quartet, Clarinet Quintet: Classical CD Reviews-June 2000 Music on the Web(UK) |
| | Reger's music is undeniably abstract in form and content - yet he has the power to move the heart and the senses as both these masterly chamber pieces prove. | | | Marc-Andre Hamelin's superb recording of the Bach and Telemann Variations (Hyperion) would be a perfect introduction to Reger's piano music. | | | Reger has Bach's mastery of counterpoint and an innate grasp of fugue and variation technique (qualities inimitably displayed in the finales of the Quartet and Quintet, respectively fugal and commentary). |

| | Max Reger: String Quartet & Clarinet Quintet |
| | Reger's transitional music reinforces the elusive feel of the piece: harmonically diffuse and unsettled, but equally undramatic, the Wagnerian storminess replaced by a wistful yearning. | | | At his wildest, in his organ music for example, Reger's music has a polyphonic density that sounds uncomfortably muddy. | | | Although classed as a "late Romantic," Reger's music often has the emotional ambivalence of Hindemith. |

| | Max Reger stands at the end of a development in the history of music, which had complicated the harmonic processes to such an extent that there was the danger of a subjective lack of orientation in the language of music. | | | Reger had planned a concert for organ and orchester since the summer of 1900, the often cited, subsequently never realised project of a symphony can be considered in this connection. | | | The chorale melody of the first verse is ‘the voice of an angel, the dead are gradually awakened. |

| | The Reger concerto was first recorded by Susanne Lautenbacher on a Pantheon disc which surprised me as she was always associated with early music and this concerto is really very difficult to play. | | | But Reger is best known for his sets of variations and fugues on themes of Telemann Op 134 (piano), Bach Op 81 (piano), Beethoven (two pianos or orchestra), a merry theme by Hiller and by Mozart the last two of which are on this disc. | | | REGER: Mozart and Hiller variations: Classical CD Reviews- November 2000 Music on the Web(UK) |

| | Oehmsclassics: Duo d´Accord - Max Reger: Works for Piano Duo |
| | E: When we were working on Reger’s music, we found it — in its innermost core — to be expressive music. | | | Reger develops this into wonderful ‘sound-paintings’ which are highly imaginative as well. | | | During his time, he was one antipode against the modern music of the time — which was considered by some to be in the process of disintegrating; others, however, considered him to be a representative of modern music. |

| | A. Schoenberg and M. Reger: Some Parallels |
| | Reger and Schoenberg are also quite similar in terms of the disorientation caused by their music. | | | Certain phrases of Reger’s style are recalled by the music of the Suite, with its busily moving counterpoint and its strongly chromaticized harmony based on traditional foundations. | | | Reger’s love for Brahms was manifested most clearly in the piano piece “Resignation,” which was subtitled “April 3, 1897—J. Brahms+.” Here Reger quotes the beginning of the second movement of Brahms’s Fourth Symphony. |

| | His position in musical life was not without difficulty, since he was seen as a champion of absolute music and as hostile at this time to "program music," to the legacy of Wagner and Liszt. | | | Probably Reger's best known work, the Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Mozart, op.132, is based on a theme from Mozart's Piano Sonata No.11, K.331. | | | The piece was written in 1914 and first performed in Wiesbaden on January 8, 1915 by the Kurorchester, conducted by the composer. |

| | While most of the songs for alto and orchestra are also slow, at least they're easier to swallow without The Nuns' harmonic marshmallow topping. | | | The music is heavy, pseudo-profound, and written in a thick, gooey chromatic style that rarely settles on a tonic chord for more than a couple of measures. | | | Even with appropriately pious and passionate singing by the women of the Bamberg Symphony Choir it takes a while for these 29 minutes to go by. |

| | How convenient for all of Max Reger's music for clarinet and piano to fit on a single disc--or, better still, to have all of it presented in excellent performances! | | | In the expert hands and artistry of Ib Hausmann and Nina Tichman, Reger's melodic diversions and ambitious structures never sound discursive, and his orchestra-like textures move in flexible yet tautly argued paragraphs. | | | The musicians make the most out of the B-flat sonata Scherzo's extreme mood swings and underline the slow movement's autumnal lyricism with exquisite economy of expression and dynamic control. |
