With these two transcriptions by Reger (EB 8725) and Wagner (EB 8726), Breitkopf launches a new little publication series destined to meet the ever-growing interest in organ transcriptions. In each case, Klaus Uwe Ludwig found in the original score a highly colorful, variegated orchestral work that was practically asking to be transferred to the organ. The result is virtually a new orchestration. Organs from the Romantic era have proven especially well suited to these transcriptions, as their world premieres at the Walcker organ (1911) in Wiesbaden's Lutherkirche have shown.
