    I'm a Blomstedt fan. He's one of the few remaining champions of Max
    Reger.

    Here is Blomstedt and Reger's Hiller Variations.

    Listing right now. Sounds impressive (like Reger's organ works which I
    have heard).

    [The Concertgebouw Orchestra performed this piece twice in 1916 with
    Reger himself conducting.

    Apparently, Mengelberg liked it; he conducted it 25 times, first in
    1907. According to Wikipedia, that's the year in which Reger published
    or completed this composition.

    (Other conductors who played it with the Concertgebouw orchestra:
    Dopper, Muck, Jochum, J|nrvi and Blomstedt.)

    Reger was an important composer at the time. If he'd written operas as
    well, he would have been as big as Strauss. However, Reger wrote a lot
    of top class chamber music, which Strauss and Mahler didn't do. His last
    three string quartets + clarinet quintet are unsurpassed.

    The big variations suites (Hiller and Mozart) were standard orchestra repertoire upo to 1975. They're really gratifying music for the
    orchestra, conductor and audience.

    Reger also wrote tons of music that drives me nuts.
