Art of Fugue Main Performer or Conductor: Charles Rosen Instrumentation: Piano Individual Works: The Art of the Fugue BWV 1080 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Sony Catalog Number: SB2K 63231 Year Released/Recorded: 1967 Total Playing Time: 74' 23 Comments: Mark Galtrey said: Charles Rosen is renowned for his clarity and depth of musical thought - this recording is no exception. Tempi, dynamics and phrasing are wonderfully judged, giving a superb insight into the workings of the music without compromising its beauty. Touch is never forced and has extraordinary variety. Digitally remastered so that 1967 technology does not compromise the sound quality. The most compelling complete recording available.
