German composer Max Reger, who died 100 years ago this month, has always been something of a ‘marmite’ composer with equally passionate advocates and detractors. Tom talks to performers and enthusiasts to find out why people both love and might hate the music of a complex individual whose works sit between tradition and modernity. With pianist Markus Becker, musicologists Christopher Anderson and John Deathridge, conductor Herbert Blomstedt and broadcaster Rob Cowan. Broadcast May 2016
