You make this piece of music seem so easy. But we both know it isn't. I especially appreciate the fact that I can follow the tempo and hear the counterpoint, I think due to the acoustics. This is the way I aspire to play Reger as written for the organ. Thanks for not adding any extra drama to the music, as Reger supplied just enough. Thank you for your recording.

questo corale di Reger è il mio preferito. Belissima esecuzione e molto bella la registrazione Bravissima!

[@pegrueneis]

Regers masterpiece-masterfull interpretation...bravo!

This is a wonderful performance of Op.52 nr.3-and from memory too. I love the way you are not afraid to play the quiet sections slowly-these are often taken too quickly in my opinion. Please can we have the Fugue uploaded soon! Reger is still a misrepresented and misunderstood composer-his contribution to motivic development in music has never been fully researched.

This and the fugue are beautiful -- new to me, and a joy. Thank you!

Magnificent opus, and a matching performance! A very delightful mix of grandeur and subtle nuances. ...I must find more by/about this beautiful lady... :-)

[@mevrouwfilibuster]

Beautiful! One of my favorites, and you play it very well.

Csodálatos Gastorius korál zseniális feldolgozása! Bravo Su-Ryeon!

[@Danilotosatto]

Thank you! :)

Thank you...! :)

Wow! Wonderful! Also like showing the difficult pedal work. Quiet sections so gently played. Not rushed through as so often happens. Where is the Maxnificent fugue?

[@tempetempe5542]

Marvelous performance, Su-Ryeon. Thanks for the pedal window, too. You do all this without assistants (referring to Arjen Leistra's KZbin recordings). And now the Fugue, so clear and concise. Hall acoustics and instrument must be just right; Reger was so intellectual; how could organists properly present such material on instruments in halls with high lag time? Thanks for sharing this with us. Do you have CD's for sale?

[@theorganist777]

@ric55 Thank you for your kind words. I've just uploaded the Fugue, too.
