Konzerthausorchester Berlin / Lothar Zagrosek
Reger is one of those composers more talked about than listened to-caricatured as a prolific writer of organ music with a penchant for dense musical textures. But he certainly wasn't averse to a good tune: the two Romances abound in lush lyricism, while the magnificent A major Violin Concerto shows him continuing in the tradition of the violin concertos of Beethoven and Brahms. An unashamedly symphonic work, it's nearly an hour long-around the same length as the nearly-contemporary Elgar Violin Concerto. No less a figure than Adolf Busch championed it-first performing it when he was just sixteen.
The young German violinist Tanja Becker-Bender, who has already made such an impact in Schulhoff and Paganini, is joined by Lothar Zagrosek and the Berlin Konzerthausorchester for this 11th volume in the Romantic Violin Concerto series-a series that is triumphantly demonstrating how much great music there is out there just waiting to be rediscovered.
