The Longest Breath. A programme dedicated to the wind instrument with the longest breath of all: the organ.
Today’s programme’s theme is the 100th anniversary of the death of German composer Max Reger (1873-1916). His music seems to be forgotten a little, but this is certainly not the case with his organ compositions.
