About

The Art of Fugue, Bach's final and most quintessential work, while a monument, is far from being a monolith! Here, Les Recreations present a new version using different combinations of instruments that best suit each individual movement, from the piccolo violin to the cello with a detour via the violoncello piccolo; such revelations of the work's extraordinary variety, from the Stile antico to the beginnings of the Empfindsamer Stil, refresh our perception of this masterpiece.
