DCD 077 - The Art of the Fugue -- from Sweden

"Die Kunst der Fuge" was Johann Sebastian Bach's compendium of his contrapuntal skill. The work starts with a very simple subject, and moves through an increasingly complex series canons and fugues.

Brengt Tibukait performs this amazing work on an instrument of the period, a 1728 Cahman organ in a new SACD release from Musica Rediviva. Episode #77 of the DCD Classical 'Cast features selections from this new release, including the first (and simplest) fugue, and the final (and most complex) fugue, left incomplete at Bach's death.
