Art of Fugue Main Performer or Conductor: Los Angeles Saxophone Quartet Instrumentation: Saxophone Individual Works: Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Protone Records Catalog Number: PRCD 1103 Total Playing Time: 65:31 Comments: TJA: A beautiful performance and recording. The individual voices stand out clearly. The tempi are slightly faster than several other well-known performances. Contrapuncti 3, 6, and 11 are missing, but the four canons are present. The recording notes are sparse and do not include the date of the recording, which must date from the mid-1980s because the recording is listed as available in a two LP set or cassette as well as CD.
