Fugue Op.92 N.7 for Double Reed Quintet MP3

Double Reed Quintet Version: Comprises 1st and 2nd Oboes, English Horn, 1st and 2nd Bassoons. Duration: 3 minutes and 50 seconds. This intense and continuous fugue concludes the Suite for Organ Op.92 (1905) by Max Reger. It is a masterpiece of the late Romantic era, foreshadowing many trends of the Expressionism period such as the diminishing sense of tonality, intense contrasts, and vast areas of resonating timbral color. Furthermore, the omnipresent reminiscences and nuances of the Baroque era, particularly lessons from Bach, lend this music a distinct character.
