German-French organist, cantor, and church musician Irenee Peyrot studied at the Conservatoire de Lyon and Saint-Etienne. After graduation, he began a period of intensive concert activity in Germany and abroad, where the major focus of his repertoire were the works of Reger, particularly Reger's transcriptions of Bach's piano works. He has served as organist at the Johannes Church in Ahrensburg and at the Marktkirche in Halle. In addition to his work as a cantor, Peyrot has been teaching organ since 2006 at the Evangelische Hochschule fur Kirchenmusik in Halle. In January 2019, he was appointed church music director. The present release features his interpretations of organ works by Max Reger.

Apart from the opera and the symphony, Max Reger made significant contributions to practically every musical genre. His chamber music certainly occupies the first rank, and within this category, works for violin and piano constitute the largest amount of works. This tonal combination fascinated Reger over the course of a quarter of a century. Since the individual discs unfortunately are no longer available for purchase, for 2016, the Reger Year, CPO is now releasing the complete recordings of this enthralling group of works in a box set, along with his complete cello sonatas and a new booklet containing all the introductory texts and updated biographies of the equally fascinating musicians, including Ulf Wallin and Roland Pöntinen.
