A wonderful set of variations on a theme by Mozart. Reger's imaginative approach is a delight. This has opened the door to more interest in Reger's music.

[@bubffm]

Reger! Wunderbar! Leider immer noch deutlich unterrepräsentiert im Konzertsaal.

[@teunvandesteeg7836]

After Bach the greatest counterpoint composer...

[@frankstein9982]

but the glory of nr 132 is the (nearly) Unending Melody in the last variation before the fugue. It obviously features counterpoint too, but ultimately its magic is linear rather than vertical.

[@louisvalencia5244]

Reger?

[@jonasotte5433]

What about Roslavets?

[@null8295]

Hindemith?

[@pjimenez08]

What about Beethoven and Brahms? (If you consider those "counterpoint composers")

[@user-mi7xl5lc1t]

Wunderschöne Musik, genau was ich gerade gebraucht habe

[@ilirllukaci5345]

Surprisingly Eotvos, not to mention Scherchen and Rosbaud, all conducted Reger. So I personally always wondered what Boulez's formal clarity would've sounded like in Reger. I really wish that Boulez had recorded some.

[@MaxwellKaye]

My favorite thing about this piece is that you can tell it's a labor of love. Reger clearly loved Mozart to death and knew his style front and back. Even with all the late romantic harmony there's an unmistakable Mozart character through it all.

[@suedwestfunk]

Musik eines genialen Komponisten, die mich verzaubert, ein grandioses Orchester und ein souveräner Dirigent: Alltagsgrau und Mediengetöse werden winzigklein, unwichtig, versinken hinterm Horizont unsterblicher Klänge. Danke auch ans Filmteam: Sie bringen die Musiker so nahe, dass man jeden einzelnen umarmen möchte. Res severa verum gaudium.

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

This is a fine performance of this masterpiece that provides a loving perspective that brings out both the work's beauty and majesty. Eotvos also pays great attention to detail, and the whole production is quite excellent.

[@okami3271]

Variation 8 is absolutely sublime. Just out of this world, unreal. 17:00 Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Beautiful isn't it.

[@frankstein9982]

yes, it's stunning. Reger has done this kind of Largo with those big lines a couple times, starting with a rather similar and yet totally different part in the Hiller Variations. There's another one in one of the Piano Quartets and of course the slow mvt of the Piano Cto.

[@PeterLunowPL]

what a fantastic performance!!!!

[@piaolschinski3668]

Ich finde es geht etwas zu lange aber sonst ist es toll Ps: Warum muss ich mir das für denn Musikunterricht anhören

[@koalaplayspiano4449]

Weil es hervorragende Musik ist! PS: Im Musikleistungskurs ist es abiturrelevant ;)

[@yvanmcgregor5823]

Much gratitude for your exceptional link:)

[@user-IllIllIlI]

first variation is ear heaven

[@Atomheartfather16]

I love the fugue so much! especially the ending (from flute 29.00). it seems to me so philosophical so big, so much reflective about the whole German history and music history during the long 19th century starting with Mozart and the code civil, passes a whole century of crazy developments and ends with the fin de siecle and finally with the first World War and atonal music pressing forward to 20th century. for me all this lies in these last bars and even more...

[@mochdrew3364]

But I'd be more impressed if he can continue on the style of Mozart..

[@PeterLunowPL]

interesting what you say and I can relate to it!!

[@ulrikjensen6841]

It is not a theme by W.A.Mozart, but a simple song- tune from the rococo period.

[@ullrichherz7053]

@@ulrikjensen6841 Sehr interessant. Kann man das irgendwo nachlesen? Ich wäre dankbar für einen Hinweis

[@sbareg]

​@@ulrikjensen6841the theme of the fugue you mean? Yes, there are in fact two original themes from Reger and in the end, Mozart's melody comes back in counterpoint superposed with the two first themes.

[@Alekos-Maniatis]

Da regt sich doch einiges bei dieser Musik von Reger. Gefällt mir gut.

[@Lyrik-Klinge]

Schönes Wortspiel :-)

[@notaire2]

Sublime performance of these beautiful variations with full virtuosity of every part of this excellent orchestra. The artistic control by this multi-talented conductor is also remarkable.

[@danielarstomaz]

Feliz Aniversário!

[@ВладимирУ-т3ц]

9:40 there's Brahms: Haydn variations, var. VI

[@iavetoshkin]

The best parts of this piece are Var. 8 & the Fugue.

[@alainsicard6987]

L'influence de Brahms et de ses "Variations sur un thème de Haydn" est omniprésente dans cet hommage de Max Reger à la période classique.

[@thobisimoloi5438]

Brilliant performance indeed

[@Listenerandlearner870]

It is very good but Karl Böhm with the Berlin Phil is alot more subtle and wonderfully deep. Heinz Bongarz with the Dresden Phil is also very fine.

[@liloruf2838]

thx for recommendations, Böhm for sure

Wie ist es möglich, so ne komplizierte Musik einfach so auf's Papier zu bringen, ohne radieren oder Fehler.

[@ullrichherz7053]

Wenn man ein Hirn wie Reger hat, geht das. Von der Schlussfuge der Hiller-Variationen op. 100 ist glaubhaft überliefert, dass er sie an einem Tag ohne Skizzen direkt ins Reine schrieb, 65 Partiturseiten! Überdies wird dieses Werk zu unrecht seltener aufgeführt als die Mozart-Variationen.

[@frankstein9982]

great, finely calibrated performance. Officially this is for "a small orchestra", no trombones or tuba. and yet, just listen to the gods waltzing near the end 31:42, in the horns and trumpets.

[@frankstein9982]

there is something exciting about taking a simple Mozart theme and put it through an amazing Wagnerian chromatic wringer as in the part following 22:06

[@markus1323]

Chromatik wringer, I love that !@@frankstein9982

[@hagerup64]

👍👍💙💙

[@Quotenwagnerianer]

Warum sich Reger ausgerechnet ein Thema aussucht, dass auch bei Mozart schon einem Variationensatz voransteht, muss ich nicht verstehen.

[@PeterLunowPL]

einfach...: Das Thema eignet sich da fuer, wie Paganini's Violin Caprice in a Moll (Brahms ,Rachmaninoff, Lutoslawski).

[@richardnewnham1417]

Wieso? Hier ist kein Rechtssache.

[@markus1323]

Das Thema hat trotz oder wegen seiner geradezu spieluhrhaften Simplizität einen musikalischen Bedeutungsüberschuss, den Mozart andeutet, und Reger ausbuchstabiert und ausinstrumentiert.

[@bortbort1]

Wow, tiresome tiresome tiresome. I've played Mozart's sonata on the piano countless times and every time I'm excited by Mozart's variations. Reger's "variations" couldn't end soon enough for me. He either did nothing to Mozart's theme or did SO much it was unrecognizable. The fugue was the only part I could tolerate but I suspect it had more to do with the joy one feels when one stops hitting themselves with a hammer than from it's inherent musical quality. When I came across this piece I wondered why I hadn't heard of Reger before. Now I know why.

[@miguelmendizabalcontreras9771]

Perhaps you are just an uncultivated person. Be respecful about the great Reger.

[@naturlichich218]

Sounds like there‘s someone unable to comprehend Reger‘s music. You should try and analyze each of these variations, maybe that way you can enjoy this piece in a way it deserves

[@bortbort1]

@@naturlichich218 so one has 'try and analyze' Reger's music to 'comprehend' it? Funny, I've never had to do that for Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc.
