Max Reger’s 150th anniversary was celebrated in 2023, but his music is not often programmed. During his own lifetime, however, he was much esteemed. Paul Hindemith described him as “the last giant of music,” and Schoenberg promoted his music because “he still remains unfamiliar” and “I consider him a genius.” Written towards the end of his life, Max Reger’s Four Tone Poems after Böcklin and Romantic Suite are both sensuous works evoking Debussy, Wagner, and Richard Strauss. Sweden’s Gävle Symphony Orchestra led by Jaime Marttin, generate a lush sound for Reger’s scores that belie the ensemble’s modest size (just 52 musicians). The three-movement Romantic Suite, Op. 125 is new to the WFMT library.
