Johann Sebastian Bach: The Art of Fugue BWV 1080

The art of flight is presented here not as an abstract didactic sum, but as an intellectual and human testament, an austere but vibrant labyrinth of Bach's late art. The arrangement of simple, strict, double and symmetrical leaks, punctuated by guns, gives the cycle a singularly shocking architectural profile, while the incompleteness of the final Contrapunctus intensifies its interrogative force. The choice of piano reaffirms the keyboard legitimacy of an open score that modern tradition has long surrounded by abstraction. More than just a monument, the record offers a celebration of curiosity, memory and contrpointistic invention.
