Die Kunst der Fuge Main Performer or Conductor: Ton Koopman Accompaniment/Orchestra: Tini Mathot Soloists: Ton Koopman and Tini Mathot, harpsichords Instrumentation: Harpsichord Individual Works: Only Die Kunst der Fuge (version for two Harpsichords) BWV 1080 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Erato Catalog Number: 30630-16173-2 Year Released/Recorded: 1996 Total Playing Time: 75.23 min Comments: Kasper van der Heijden said: I'm particulary fond of versions for Harpsichord, because it allows you to hear the individual voices better, because all the voices are played on the same instrument. None of the voices are different from tonecolour, and therefore more easely to hear. The Harpsichord used in this recording is very beautiful and clear, however the performance is not of my taste, because of the numerous ornaments and the lack of steady tempi in the movements.
