Description:

German virtuoso Josef Moog! Reger's heavyweight concerto!German virtuoso, winner of the 2015 British Gramophone Award for "Young Artist of the Year"! Josef Moog takes on Reger's massive concerto!Born in 1987, he won the British Gramophone Award for "Young Artist of the Year" in 2015 and was nominated for the 58th Grammy Award in 2016 for "Grieg & Moszkowski: Piano Concertos (ONYX4144)". German virtuoso pianist Josef Mogg. After a string of successful recordings of Romantic piano concertos and piano works by Chopin, Liszt, Rubinshtein, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Scharvenka, Moszkowski, Rachmaninoff, and others, he next turned to the most demanding and inhospitable of all piano concertos of all time The inimitable Max Reger Piano Concerto! Written in 1910, this massive concerto shows all of Reger's formidable skill in using a large orchestra with clarity and making the piano a part of the orchestra.On the other hand, the coupling piece, "Six Interludes," is a gently romantic and poetic work that shows a different side of the complex composer Reger.
