And it
comes from a most
qualified hand that of
Susanne Popp, author of
the Reger Work Catalogue
and head of the Max Reger
Institute for many years.
She was predestined to
portray one of the most
fascinating composers of
the past turn of the
century. No better time?
In May 2016 we will be
commemorating the 100th
anniversary of the death
of Max Reger, and the
musical world will want
to honor with many events
the great out-of-time
composer who saw himself
between tradition and
avant-garde. Susanne
Popp's comprehensive
biography provides help
for finding our way in
this prolific life on the
basis of letters and
documents, some of them
practically unknown,
which visually depict the
restless life of the
workaholic. Moreover, for
the biographical
information, a
multi-media project is
also being planned
through audio examples
and visual documents on
the Reger Institute's
home page.
The
extensive and eagerly
awaited Reger biography
couldn't be introduced at
a better time.
