Max Reger – The Works for Men’s Choir Vol. 3

Ensemble Vocapella Limburg produced two CDs in 2016 with the complete works for men’s choir a cappella of Max Reger. There are, however, three compositions for men’s choir and orchestra by Max Reger that have never been recorded on CD completely.

Thus, we would like to fill this gap and record these works on CD in fall 2023, together with the male voices of Vox Quadrata and the renowned orchestra Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz. One of the works is composed for men’s choir, orchestra and mezzo soprano, and we work with Marie-Henriette Reinhold for this recording.

To round up the CD, there will be word first recording of seven lieder by Max Reger for men’s choir and piano, which we have commissioned especially for this recording. The renowned composer and arranger Andreas Tarkmann will create the settings of Reger’s pieces. We will be accompanied by the pianist Andreas Frese.

Our goal is the completion of the recording of all works for men’s choir of Max Reger. With the novel arrangements of Reger’s lieder for men’s choir and piano, we will create a connection to the lied compositions of Max Reger.

Our target group are all friends of choral music and men’s choir.

Producing a CD in times of streaming is very demanding, since musicians do not receive as much revenue from such a production as in former times. Thus, we hope that our friends and fans will support us through this crowdfunding campaign.

We will use the funds for the financing of the CD production, which includes the fees for the orchestra and soloists, as well as the costs for recording, cutting and pressing the CD.
