Max Reger: The Cello Suites
A complete recording of the three solo suites, Op. 131c
Audio Player
On his new GENUIN album, cellist Christian Erben, a member of the renowned Gewandhaus Orchestra, presents one of the most intriguing oeuvres for his instrument from the 20th century: Max Reger's three suites for solo cello. Baroque grandeur and intellectual depth, late-Romantic harmony, and masterful counterpoint: no one had explored the soloistic possibilities of perhaps the most human of all instruments as comprehensively since Johann Sebastian Bach as Max Reger did. Christian Erben delves into the immense suites down to the finest detail and brings their tonal intricacies to light!

"Christian Erben has created sensitively balanced arrangements that impress with their noble sound and make the most of all the instrument’s registers." Review by Uwe Krusch, November 04, 2024
