Listing right now. Sounds impressive (like Reger's organ works which I have heard).
[The Concertgebouw Orchestra performed this piece twice in 1916 with Reger himself conducting.
Apparently, Mengelberg liked it; he conducted it 25 times, first in 1907. According to Wikipedia, that's the year in which Reger published or completed this composition.
(Other conductors who played it with the Concertgebouw orchestra: Dopper, Muck, Jochum, Järvi and Blomstedt.)
