Very restful throughout; thought-provoking and moody.

BUSONI: Fantasia Contrappuntistica; REGER: Sonata – Marlboro Festival performers – Sony
Intellectual and digital fortitude prevail in these classic performances from Marlboro, but the music will find few adherents beyond experimenters and connoisseurs.

Two ingratiating chamber works for clarinet quintet, but one may well be a “variation” of the other.
Fritz Busch = Works of BRAHMS; BEETHOVEN; MOZART; REGER – Wuertembergischen Landes-Th./Dresden St. Orch./Danish Radio Sym. Orch. – Guild
