J. S. Bach: The Art of Fugue
4 to 5 players
Available on CD:
Bach’s ultimate statement on the art closest to his heart. This programme presents all of Bach’s great Contrapuncti within an hour-long programme. Fretwork’s recording of The Art of Fugue has been garlanded with praise:
There can be few more authentic if austere guides to Bach’s elaborate mysteries than the immaculate, cut-glass clarity of this highly accomplished sextet. The Observer
This programme includes a completion of the final contrapunctus written by Fretwork’s own Richard Boothby.
