The Art of Fugue / Karl Munchinger
I’ve listened to all kinds of performances of The Art of Fugue, but this is the first Art of Fugue record I ever bought, and of course it was an analog record. I listened to until disc was “frayed”. The music is performed mainly by string ensemble, but there are also two harpsichords, a three-part mirror fugue arranged by Bach himself, and a wind instrument (flute) in the canon group, giving it a rich variety of sounds. As for ancient instruments, I like Esperion conducted by Jordy Savall and the harpsichord performance by Koopman. The organ by Helmut Walcha is also worthy of mention. #baroque #bach #片山俊幸
