Max Reger
Trio b minor op. 2 for Violin, Viola and Piano
Max Reger’s Piano Trio in b minor op. 2, unusually scored for viola instead of violoncello, is a passionate early work in which the entire harmonic audacity and expressive depth of the young Reger are already apparent. Alternating between dramatic energy and lyrical intimacy, a chamber music masterpiece unfolds which demands great technical precision as well as sensitive ensemble playing.
