Bach: the Art of Fugue.(Sound Recording Review)
Fretwork (Harmonia Mundi USA HMU 907296)
Bach's The Art of Fugue is a piece that should be found in every music lover's CD collection in multiple versions. Just yesterday at work I listened to a version for two harpsichords, while a few days before that I placed an order for yet another string quartet arrangement (I already own two or three quartet versions, but just can't resist). If you do not already own a version of this music, I would suggest this recording by Fretwork as a good place to start, for it presents the music in a simple enough setting to illuminate its beauty, richer in sound than a string quartet, but not overly fancy (can anyone forget the old Sheffield Labs recording of this work as arranged by Malloch [sp?], with its chamber orchestra augmented by percussion?).
