Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott (Reger)

Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott ("A Mighty Fortress Is Our God"), Op.

The full title is Phantasie über den Choral "Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott".

[6] Ein' feste Burg ist unser Gott, as other chorale fantasias by Reger, is more often performed in concert than in liturgical church services, because of its dimensions.

[5] Reger commented the alleged difficulty of his organ works in 1900 to his friend the organist Gusav Beckmann: "Meine Orgelsachen sind schwer, es gehört ein über die Technik souverän herrschender geistvoller Spieler dazu" (My organ pieces are difficult; they need a skillful player who masters the technique).

[7] The organist Alfred Sittard first recorded this work by Reger on shellac in 1908 on the Sauer organ of the Berlin Garnison Church.
