Max Reger, the Reluctant Revolutionary: Max Reger was a paradoxical combination of radical and reactionary. For the form of many of his larger pieces he took Bach?s music as a starting point; in his contrapuntal style that of the conservative Brahms. Yet in terms of harmony he stood, often to his own surprise, in the vanguard of ‘progress’ as it developed after Wagner. In his lifetime it was for this last aspect that his works were controversial.

David Goode is among the UK?s leading organists. He was organ scholar at King?s College, Cambridge, graduating with top honours. From 1996-2001 he was Sub-Organist at Christ Church, Oxford and as such toured in Europe, the United States, Brazil and Japan. In 2001 he resigned this post in order to pursue a freelance concert career; he now continues this, while occupying the position of Organist-in-Residence at the First Congregational Church in Los Angeles, home to the largest church organ in the world.
