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.
