CD Reviews

Late Beethoven echoes
John Landkamer | Grinnell, Iowa USA | 05/04/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"In my listening I've focused mainly on the Symphonic Fantasia and Fugue. Beethoven doesn't get mentioned much as a Reger influence but I hear echoes of late Beethoven here, specifically pieces like the Hammerklavier finale and the Grosse Fuge. Feverish, hyper-intellectual activity with occasional oases of calm, quickly shattered.



Herr Professor Krapp is obviously a master and almost seems to toss this difficult music off. He gives the fugue of Op. 57 an easygoing allegro moderato gait, making parts of it "swing" a little like jazz."
