Edgar Krapp (Passau Cathedral Organ)

Edgar Krapp performs this program as Volume 7 in the Naxos recordings of Reger's organ music. Krapp plays on the 5-manual, 233-stop Eisenbarth organ from 1981 in the Passau Cathedral. This monster organ is perfect for the fantasy and fugue, certainly one of the most demanding of Reger's works… Krapp is a brilliant player. I believe he plays Reger better than anyone I've heard. His technical skill is sufficient that he can concentrate on projecting the music. He actually makes this stuff sound easy to play and so easy to understand.
