Bach's intellectually constructed beauty
Ton Koopman and Tini Matteau perform "The Art of Fugue."
This unfinished masterpiece from Bach's later years is meticulously woven together by leading period instrument performers. Its complex structure, a pinnacle of counterpoint, is presented with a clear sound. The tones of the harpsichord and organ convey the essential beauty of Baroque music. This is a sincere performance of a work that crystallizes Bach's intellect and spirituality.
