During his lifetime, Max Reger, born in 1873, was considered the heir to the German tradition of Johannes Brahms. Today, his late Romantic-influenced song oeuvre is all but forgotten. The evening with Flurina Stucki, Attilio Glaser a. o. contrasts songs by Reger and his rival Richard Strauss as well as music by Philipp Maintz, born in 1977.
