Max Reger "Romantic Suite op. 125"

[@es7432]

I was visiting Weiden in der Oberpfalz, Germany, and learned that he grew up there. So now im listening to this piece of his music. It is quite lovely!

[@artofmusic303]

Gorgeous. One cannot go from Strauss and Mahler to Schoenberg without becoming familiar with Reger, the most proficient composer of the post-Romantic era, highly chromatic, yet still firmly tonal.

[@dennissalinas5862]

Wonderful and accurate comment.

[@davidprivat43]

A very underrated piece of music.

[@pierreboland8910]

Almost everything of Reger is underrated. It is an extreme music: each beat is carefully prepared to be an unexpected harmonic effect. It's very difficult to keep the tunes in mind, on the contrary of Beethoven, Schumann etc. But is very rewarding to listen to carefully.

[@pauliketola6550]

My favourite composer! The complexity of His music is so fascinating. The organ works are brilliant as well!

[@gerardbegni2806]

This shows a fact which is not commonly acknowledged: Reger was a fabulous orchestrator.

[@erlandschneck-holze6931]

...sehr sensible Interpretation dieses außerordentlichen Meisterwerks durch den weltbekannten modernen finnischen Dirigenten und Komponisten; schön wäre noch die genaue Benennung der gut ausgewählten Bilder...

[@paulbloemen7256]

This mesmerizing music is good for my soul: there are no answers, - what were the questions? - only a state of mind that isn't easily understood. This music just shows the state of mind, to me it has eternal value.

[@rogerknox9147]

I'm enjoying this work on a pleasant Sunday afternoon in the autumn. The second movement waltz could go on for ever . . .

[@Palanibert]

Reger once replied to a particularly hateful critic: 'Sir, I am in the smallest room in my house with your critique in front of me. Soon it will be behind me'.

[@ibamINV]

Interesting. Chagrined to admit I'd never heard of Max Reger until stumbling upon this, which just popped up amidst the usual KZbin selections at the end of another piece I had just listened to. Glad I checked it out. I figured anything Essa-Pekka Salonen thinks worthwhile needs to be heard. Thanks for posting this and introducing me to a composer previously unknown. Being the obsessive I am, now I shall have to search for and listen to other of Max Reger's works. :)

[@ullrichherz7053]

You'll discover many treasures I suppose

[@Vivor64]

Je ne connaissais pas cette musique, je la découvre avec plaisir : quelle belle inspiration, et l'orchestration de Reger est d'une si grande finesse, un orfèvre.

[@javiervivanco919]

Vivien Sauvenergues ces't vrai...

[@arrangeur55]

OMG, Max Reger immer wieder ein Erlebnis!

[@arrangeur55]

Der beste Instrumentator, den ich kenne!!

[@arrangeur55]

Klar, jeder entwickelt sich weiter1

[@rogerknox9147]

The third movement states and also suggests -- has an earthly mood then an elfin feeling, and enigmatic, personal quality -- quotes from Tristan and Isolde at 26:54-27:02 -- hints of tragic love then triumphal end . . .

[@arrangeur55]

Göttlich!!! Ein Meisterwerk höchster Instrumentationskunst! Hat auch etwas von Debussy! Impressionismus ist unüberhörbar!

[@sergiopalumbo6911]

Potesse ritornare questo belpassato...

[@verlmart]

ein ansprechendes Bad für die Seele

[@johnstag1391]

Reminds me, in parts, of Delius.

[@giuseppedimarco8358]

Wonderful!

[@ullrichherz7053]

Regers Romantische Suite op. 125 und der 2. Satz aus der Böcklinsuite op. 128 sind wohl die ersten und m.E. auch besten Kompositionen des deutschen musikalischen Impressionismus.

[@didierschein8515]

Ja, sicher. Ich kenne aber keinen andere deutsche Impressioniste.

[@Breakbeat90s]

ist deutscher impressionismus nicht ne art widerspruch in sich?

[@notaire2]

Es ist sehr schwierig, das Wesen dieses Meisterwerks präzis zu beschreiben. Trotzdem klingt es unbedingt schön!

[@sofiapacheco3773]

Reger's strange lyric was not properly understood in his time. And our times don't allow us either to develop adequate sensitivity (die Stimmung) for this music of eternal timing... Armer Reger! Eternally doomed to eternal being misunderstood... Even so very lovely music.

[@NormanOBrown-yz8qb]

Such fantastic images!

[@abbalillie6382]

How does this become forgotten ?

[@pierreboland8910]

Because he is not "easy listening" maybe. But so rewarding to listen to!

[@cengizinal8678]

This sounds very much like Liszt's Faust Symphony. The resemblence is undeniable.

[@ibamINV]

I had not thought of that. But upon reflection and a listen to Faust, I think you are right!

[@NormanOBrown-yz8qb]

Anything in particular strike you?

[@leonsundermeyer]

I thought so too

[@TheSara4peace]

Predivno

[@cristobalantonioruizcruz8239]

Excelente obra romántica de un postrromantico.

[@camsun7326]

cristobal antonio ruiz cruz no era un postromantico. Vivía en el tiempo como debussy. Pero es un romantico tarde

[@artvasch6180]

Beautiful, but who's paintings are be showed, before William Turner

[@sergioparolin8929]

magnifique

[@francoiseceau-yr1om]

Les sommités musicales, celles qui imposent, celles qui démolissent, celles qui croient tout savoir, verront ou ne verront pas, peut-être, ces grands musiciens gravir des sommets pour prendre la place qui leur revient. C'est le cas de Max Reger et, dans un tout autre genre, celui de Rick van der Linden. L'art pictural aussi, a vu beaucoup de ses grands maîtres, reconnus aujourd'hui, mourir dans la pauvreté...

[@mausmin4551]

a pretty woman the likes classical music (Max reger¡¡) is as rare as a rose in the country (in my town) for Sofia Pacheco

[@JPJosefPictures]

11:37

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

Salonen surely interprets this work "romantically", with a lush sound that does bring out all its' beauty; but he misses the thrust and energy also contained in the score, and the elfin quality of the second movement is gone. A well-controlled flaccidity tends to allow Reger's fine effort to fall apart from lack of momentum. Reger isn't Bruckner after all, although he has never sounded more like him, especially at the passage beginning at 24:32 here. I really don't think that Salonen understands Reger's music.

[@ibamINV]

Interesting comment. I am new to Max Reger - this is the first time I've heard anything of his work. Can you recommend other interpretations to check out? THX

[@dennissalinas5862]

Excellent observations.

here's several ideas for reducing heartburn quickly Ensure you drink plenty of water. cut down on tomatoes Avoid citrus fruit eg lemons, oranges Avoid dairy products such as ice cream, sour cream and cottage cheese (I read these and why they work from Amirykal heartburn remedies website )

[@SpaghettiToaster]

ok thanks

[@ullrichherz7053]

The best method to reduce heartburn is: drink water, stop eating and continue listening to this wonderfully soothing Romantic Suite!

[@NormanOBrown-yz8qb]

Thank you, Monika Dimkovik!
