Choral Fantasy on "Wie schön leucht' uns der Morgenstern,"
Max Reger
Review from The Organ, 2008
"Scott Montgomery was the 2006 first prize winner in the
American Guild of Organists National Young Artist Competition in Organ
Performance, and it shows from stylish performances of music as
different as John Cook’s Fanfare, de Grigny’s Ave Maris
Stella, Bach’s An Wasserflüssen Babylon and the 9/8
Prelude and Fugue in C major, BWV 547, pieces from Messiaen’s
Livre Du Saint Sacrement and Vierne’s Piéces de Fantasie,
finishing with the Choral Fatasy on ‘Wie schön leuchtet uns der
Morgenstern’ by Reger. Here is an artist of great promise-
technically assured and well able to interpret very different styles
of music. I particularly enjoyed his full treatment of the fugue in
BWV 547.
Montgomery
is obviously ‘one to watch’, and it is especially good to hear this
fine four manual Mander organ; would that we had more of them on this
side of the Atlantic."
