Description: Reger's secular choral works are rarely heard so this collection, pleasingly varied with regard to voice types and accompaniment, makes a welcome addition to the few of you not allergic to the human voice. There is not much of Reger's vaunted chromaticism and only one fugue (in the Palm Sunday piece, to represent the excited bustling of the crowd surrounding Jesus). German-English texts. Christopher Glynn (piano), Consortium; Andrew-John Smith.
