Max Reger, Die Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie, Wilhelm Schüchter - Variationen Und Fuge Für Orchester Über Ein Thema Von Mozart Op 132

Review by Arthur Gillies

The album "Variationen Und Fuge Für Orchester Über Ein Thema Von Mozart Op 132" by Max Reger, performed by Die Nordwestdeutsche Philharmonie and conducted by Wilhelm Schüchter, is a stunning display of orchestral virtuosity. The album, which features Reger's variations and fugue on a theme by Mozart, is a masterful interpretation of one of the greatest composers of all time.

The album opens with the theme from Mozart's Piano Sonata in A major, K. 331, which Reger transforms into a complex and intricate orchestral piece. The variations that follow are a testament to Reger's genius, as he takes the theme and transforms it into a series of intricate and beautiful melodies that showcase the skill of the orchestra.

The album concludes with the final fugue, which is a breathtaking display of the orchestra's technical abilities. The interplay between the different sections of the orchestra is seamless, and the fugue builds to an exhilarating climax that leaves the listener breathless.
