Art Of Fugue [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

This new release from the renowned Quartetto di Cremona brings a fascinating and multi-dimensional approach to J.S. Bach's Art of Fugue, with innovative approaches to instrumentation creating a new interpretation of the Baroque master's seminal work. The group substitutes in places a viola for the second violin, and a tenor viola in place of a standard instrument. Elsewhere, the violist takes up the recorder, with no less than eight instruments on stage lending a pioneering choreutic nature to the work while preserving the original writing. Since it's formation in 2000, the Quartetto di Cremona has established a reputation as one of the most exciting chamber ensembles on the international stage. Regularly invited to perform in major music festivals and halls in Europe, North and South America and the Far East, they have garnered extraordinary acclaim during almost quarter of a century of performing.
