Don't let this get away...,

This review is from: Bach: The Art of the Fugue (Audio CD)
Don't let this one get away. This has slipped in & out of print, & it is great to have it available again. An unusual project well worth having if you love Bach & especially if you love brass instruments. This piece by Bach is fascinating in itself, but hearing the brilliant scoring for Brass Ensemble makes it possible to hear the subtlety of the multiple parts better than say, for organ or harpsicord. Recently, the Canadian Brass also did the same magnificent job of scoring Bach's ever popular "Goldberg Variations" to similar great effect. The price of this disc, however, is a steal...

The best version of Art of Fugue,

This review is from: Bach: The Art of the Fugue (MP3 Download)
I always heard how The Art of Fugue was supposedly so cerebral and/or boring. Well, being a big fan of Bach, and having read the interesting history behind this music, I ignored the rumors and started searching Amazon for a good recording. In my humble opinion, this one is the finest.
I like how the voices of the fugues can be distinguished so easily due to the different instruments (as opposed to an organ or piano). In fact, I think this is the perfect type of music for a brass group; it sounds so majestic and royal, but not in a pompous way. For me, this music is actually quite emotional. Especially knowing that it was most likely the last thing Bach wrote before his death. The climax of each fugue is always quite stirring.

This review is from: Bach: The Art of the Fugue (Audio CD)
Between Bach's brilliant fugue set and the virtuoso playing of Canadian Brass, this is as close to perfect as it gets. I listen to this when I want to clear my head and think logically, but it also produces an emotional response as well. If you love Bach and you love brass, this is the one.
