A key
work in Reger's organ
production from the time
of its first publication
in 1902 up to today, the
famous F-minor
Passacaglia from Op. 63
has cast its spell on
generations of organ
lovers. The dark bass
strides quietly through
the depths, persistently
and secretly like time
itself; a ghostly breath
murmurs about the heights
and rustles through light
leaves; and from within
emerges a voice which
rises and falls in a
seemingly aimless manner,
and which speaks more
than it sings...
(Gustav-Robert Tornow on
the 8th variation of the
Passacaglia in his 1907
introduction to the
work).
