The work autograph, played here by Kenneth Gilbert, has originally 12 fugues and 2 canons.
The Art of the Fugue has experienced since the beginning of the reference prints of disk for both the piano (Gould fans), organ (Walcha) or harpsichord; sometimes it is also suitable for instrumental ensemble.
Kenneth Gilbert uses the harpsichord here to sound that no regard as a top of the science of counterpoint; I must say that if this music was enough to make the admiration of musicians, it can sometimes seem dry to the listener may get tired of hearing almost a mathematical construction time.
However, even if this disc is of those who rarely listen, we must admit that under the fingers of Kenneth Gilbert This 1989 engraving is undoubtedly figure of reference alongside G.Leonhardt.
The talent of Gilbert has benefited from sound technicians to the height and instrument sounds cosmic and unreal way.
A difficult to climb Everest for laymen but reserves the bold beautiful revelations.
