🎵 Max Reger - TOCCATA in D minor, Op. 59 Nr. 5

Roberto Bertero at the organ of Turin’s Santuario della Consolata (Church of the Virgin of the Consolation).

In this video I am playing the epic and flamboyant Toccata in D minor, Op. 59 Nr. 5, by Max Reger, famous German composer, organist and pianist.
Often defined as "the Bach of the 20th century", Reger, a strong supporter of absolute music, was undoubtedly a complete musician, sensitive to the culture of his time.
He was able to merge the new harmonic and chromatic language of the time - typical of Franz Liszt and Richard Wagner - with the complex counterpoint of Johann Sebastian Bach, establishing himself as an illustrious representative of late-romantic German music.


Welcome to this YouTube channel aimed at providing some quality online documentation concerning the "Camillo Guglielmo Bianchi" organ located in the Consolata Sanctuary, Turin (Italy).
Audio or audio-video file will be regularly uploaded, all recorded LIVE.
The sound will be captured with Zoom H5 audio recorder (96kHz / 24bit), while footage will be filmed with Canon EOS 5D Mark IV.

The intent is to create a database of the musical literature performed by me, titular organist in this prestigious sanctuary, right during the religious services along the Liturgical Year or during the organ auditions, between one Mass and another.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the content of this channel.
