Die Kunst der Fuga (Urfassung) Main Performer or Conductor: Henk van Zonneveld Soloists: Henk van Zonneveld Instrumentation: Harpsichord Organ Individual Works: this recording presents the first version of "Die Kunst der Fuga" which Bach finished some 3 years before his death. BWV 1080 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: WISP Catalog Number: WISPCD 25969 Year Released/Recorded: 1997 Total Playing Time: 72'04 Comments: H.E.v.Zonneveld said: As far as I know, this is the only recording of the autograph-version of bwv 1080 by one performer on one instrument. It appears obvious that this was Bach's intention composing 14 parts about one (main-)theme, one key for all parts and one form of composition: the fugue. Besides the clavi-organum-sound is a very interesting sound during 72 minutes of listening.
