Summer Serenade on 28 August 2025, 7:00 pm

Following the great success of the serenade on 10 August, the second concert will take place on Thursday, 28 August at 7:00 pm. Trio Mikado, featuring Petar Hristov (oboe), Bettina Beigelbeck (clarinet), and Mateus Távora (bassoon), will perform Mozart’s Divertimento from KV 436b, Beethoven’s variations on “Là ci darem la mano”, a divertimento by Adolf Busch, works by Max Reger, and Brazilian music by Antônio Carlos Jobim. In between – as a special treat – there will be a burlesque piece “Carmen”, composed by the ensemble’s guiding spirit, Petar Hristov. As always, admission is free; donations are welcome.

Update: In view of the weather forecast, we are relocating our serenade concert to the Festsaal (banquet hall) of the Karlsburg Durlach, located across from the Max Reger Institute at Schlossplatz.

Summer Serenade on 10 August 2025, 5:00 pm

On Sunday, 10 August, the Max Reger Institute will host the first of this year’s serenade concerts, as usual in the courtyard of the Alte Karlsburg in Durlach (Pfinztalstr. 7). The concert begins at 5:00 pm and features performances by Johannes Hustedt (flute), Egidius Streiff (violin), and Mariana Doughty (viola). On the programme, among others, are serenades by Max Reger (Opus 77a) and Ludwig van Beethoven (Opus 25).

As a tribute to the Karlsruhe composer Wolfgang Rihm, who passed away in 2024, the concert will also include the world premiere of a version of Über die Linie VI authorised by the composer himself. Originally written for alto flute, violin, and cello, this version offers a new interpretation of the work.

The violist Tabea Zimmermann on Max Reger

Tabea Zimmermann is a musician of captivating versatility. She performs worldwide as a soloist and chamber music partner, teaches, promotes and brings people together, is a board member of several foundations and is constantly initiating new works. Naturally, her instrument, the viola, is at the centre of all these activities. In an exclusive interview for the Max-Reger-Institute and the International Max Reger Society, she explains that Reger's solo suites for viola are her constant companions.

Wolfgang Rihm (1952-2024)

With great sorrow over the loss of the patron of our European Chamber Music Competition Karlsruhe, we remember Prof. Dr. h.c. Wolfgang Rihm.

Last Saturday, July 27, 2024, the Karlsruhe native, regarded as one of the greatest contemporary composers, passed away after a long, severe illness. Wolfgang Rihm will be remembered not only for his works but also for his understanding and humorous nature, which distinguished him as a person. His steadfast commitment to music, art, and culture will never be forgotten, especially in his hometown, and it will continue to inspire future generations of artists.

Conference Announcement:

Bearbeitung als Original. Funktionen und Ästhetik der Transkription um 1900

Together with the Karlsruhe University of Music, we will host the conference "Bearbeitung als Original. Funktionen und Ästhetik der Transkription um 1900" from October 18-20, 2024. For Max Reger, adaptations played a significant role, among other things, to "modernize" old music. His contemporary and occasional pen pal Ferruccio Busoni, whose 100th death anniversary is being commemorated this year, shared this passion.

As part of the conference, there will be two concerts: on October 18th with the Karlsruhe Ensemble Mikado featuring oboist Petar Hristov; and on October 19th with Prof. Sontraud Speidel and Florian Kleinertz from the Karlsruhe University of Music, as well as the piano duo Prof. Rinko Hama and Prof. Ruben Meliksetian, both former graduates of the Karlsruhe University of Music.

In Search of 10000 Timbres: Kilian Herold on Reger's Clarinet Quintet

In a conversation with Moritz Chelius, Freiburg clarinetist Kilian Herold talks about his passion for Max Reger's Clarinet Quintet. He reveals the difficulties of the piece and the parts he particularly enjoys. He recorded the quintet in 2023 with the Armida Quartet on CD, along with the Clarinet Quintet by Reger's student Johanna Senfter.

And on Thursday, September 12 at 7:00 PM, we look forward to a reunion with the Mikado wind ensemble under the direction of Petar Hristov, who will present music by Adolf Busch and by Reger.

Financing phase started: Max Reger as a graphic novel

Max Reger is impressive. His mind is never at rest, he composes music day and night. He rushes from concert to concert and writes letters incessantly. This is only possible with vast quantities of sausages, beer and cigars. He cracks jokes of all kinds, but the thought of death haunts him. His exuberant music is dazzling, but when the tall, portly man sits down at the piano, everyone is enchanted by his delicate playing.
The Max Reger Institute is working on a graphic novel about Max Reger. Almut Ochsmann is writing the text and scenario, while Eva Gau is responsible for the visual design.

Published by Carus-Verlag

On the occasion of the 150th birthdays of Max Reger and his musician friend Karl Straube, who actively contributed to Reger's reputation as a composer, especially in his early years as a performer, the Max Reger Institute presents the wide range of facets of this artist friendship between inspiration and influence.

The European Chamber Music Competition is organised by the Max Reger Institute Karlsruhe, the City of Karlsruhe and the International Max Reger Society e.V., with the kind support of the Karlsruhe University of Music.

With chamber music, the competition promotes an important part of musical life that offers excellent young musicians special career opportunities. By including Max Reger in the competition programme, the competition provides impulses for the cultivation of this composer's work.

RWA Online updated: Start of RWA Encyclopedia

First sections of the RWA Encyclopedia on persons/institutions, postal items and work templates are now available.

After a rebuilding phase lasting several years, the RWA Encyclopedia appears in a new design, with updated technical underpinnings, consolidated content structure and a functional user interface. The information on the artistic, historical and social environment of Max Reger's edited works, which until 2019 (Volume II/8) had only been included in the respective edition volumes on DVD, will be brought together here in a central location, updated and continuously extended in accordance with the edition's publication plan.

RWA online

Music edition project Reger-Werkausgabe conquers new paths and starts publicating its digital edition's contents through new web service RWA Online.

www.reger-werkausgabe.de

Together with the publication of the two latest edition volumes Songs II (Volume II/2) and Works for mixed voice unaccompanied choir II (Volume II/9) with Carus-Verlag, Stuttgart, the Reger-Werkausgbe (RWA) launches its new project website RWA online. The RWA thus renews its hybrid edition model and publishes the digital edition components online, centrally, sustainably and freely accessible.

As in the past with the volume-by-volume DVDs, the digital edition parts consist of the accompanying scholarly texts, the digital editions with critical report and a comprehensive digital encyclopaedia (from late 2021) about life and œuvre of Max Reger. With RWA online, the previous boundaries of the double edition volume/DVD become permeable. Users will have a variety of possibilities to embark on extensive digital wanderings through the entire complex of works edited in the RWA and their historical contexts beyond a separate volume context. In addition to being able to follow the progress of the edition project just in time, users always will have access to the current state of research and published material.

More on www.reger-werkausgabe.de​

Newly published: Songs II

Volume II/2, published by Carus-Verlag, is now available.

Reger caused a sensation in the music world with his songs written between summer 1889 and spring 1901. The composer, who had consolidated himself personally and artistically after years of serious crisis, displayed a harmonic and melodic uncompromisingness in these songs that challenged, fascinated and irritated performers and audiences alike.

The collections that Reger compiled became more and more extensive: Opera 35 and 37 comprised six and five songs, Opera 43 and 48 eight and seven, Opera 51 and 55 twelve and fifteen songs. In addition, he wrote several individual contributions for publication in the Neue Musik-Zeitung (WoO VII/23-29).

In his search for texts, Reger turned to contemporary poetry. The poems he set to music came from representatives of literary Jugendstil and Impressionism, including Otto Julius Bierbaum, Detlev von Liliencron and Richard Dehmel. Intensity and subtlety of feeling, a claim to inwardness and modern emotional language were Reger’s musical yardsticks. The concentration on the modern declamation song in the wake of Hugo Wolf, to whom Opus 51 is dedicated, corresponded to this.

Furthermore, Reger ventured into texts that Richard Strauss had also previously set to music, finding very different solutions in mood and tonal language.

Reger-Werkausgabe, vol. II/2: Songs II, Stuttgart 2021, CV 52.809

Newly published: Works for mixed voice unaccompanied choir II

Volume II/9, published by Carus-Verlag, is now available.

This second volume comprises Reger's mixed choruses composed between 1904 and 1914. The sacred works predominate, with the large motets op. 110 (“Mein Odem ist schwach”, “Ach Herr, strafe mich nicht!”, “O Tod, wie bitter bist du”), the Acht geistliche Gesänge op. 138 and the fragmentary Vater unser. Liturgical Gebrauchsmusik is represented by the Easter motet Lasset uns den Herren praisen, the Vier Kirchengesänge and the English Responsories. The secular works are dominated by the Zwölf Chöre aus dem Volksliederbuch, flanked by the Good Night written for a school book and the Abschiedslied for Fritz Stein.

Out now: Giuseppe Verdis La forza del destino from Edinburgh from Fritz Buschs year of death 1951

Freshly restored by the label Pristine Audio Giuseppe Verdis La forza del destino was just released - Fritz Buschs last recording from Edinburgh festival in 1951. Since at least the 1920s Busch became an exponent of the Verdi renaissance, last but not least by performing La forza del destino, which premiered in Dresden with a new translation by Franz Werfel in 1926. Arturo Toscanini was specifically traveling to Dresden for this performance, as the opera was staged only very rarely also in Italy.

Concert on September 10th

The second concert in the inner courtyard of Alte Karlsburg on Thursday, September 10th was also a great success. The trio Aleksandra Manic (violin), Jinhee Kim (viola) and Eyal Heimann (cello) played Streichtriosatz D. 471 by Schubert and Streichtrio d-Moll op. 77b. by Max Reger. The acoustics of the inner courtyard are well suited for concerts in the summer; something our numerous guests could convince themselves of.

Concert with Trio Mikado on August 4th

At last another MRI concert in the inner courtyard of Alte Karlsburg: On Tuesday, August 4th, Trio Mikado was playing Serenade G-Dur op. 141a by Max Reger. Before that we could listen toDivertimento B-Dur KV 439b Nr. 3 by Mozart and Variationen über „La ci darem la mano“ by Beethoven. The „distinguished culture of sound, even open air“ was appreciated by BNN. A wonderful evening for which we want to cordially thank Petar Hristov (Oboe), Yuria Otaki (Clarinet) and Lorenzo Calligaris (Bassoon).

Out now: Fritz Busch conducts Beethoven in Copenhagen, 1933–1950

Peter Serkin, born 1947 in Manhatten, was interpret of rarely performed works, contemporary music by Stefan Wolpe, Toru Takemitsu, Charles Wuorinen, Olivier Messiaen, Peter Lieberson and his grandfather Adolf Busch was in his repertoire as well as Bach, Mozart or music of the renaissance. He was an advocate for Regers and Adolf Buschs work. In the Reger-year 2016 he was the one did the most performances of Regers Piano Concerto in f Minor op. 114. Until the end, already heavily suffering from cancer, he was active as a pianist.

Thomas Meyer-Fiebigs longtime studies of Regers Requiem WoO V/9 (1914) finally lead to a new edition of Regers unfinished work. With his intimate knowledge of Regers works Meyer-Fiebig tries to avoid a clash of styles and to act in the service of the composer with his completition of the Dies irae. While the first movement is edited in the style of a original text edition, a goal for the second movement was to come as close as possible to Reger without interfering too much.
