Details: Amazon.ca As stated in the notes accompanying this remarkable recording by Les Violons du Roy, The Art of the Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach is not, contrary to a tenacious prejudice, a purely theoretical and unfinished work. Moreover, the pleasure that Bernard Labadie offers us here largely exceeds the intellectual satisfaction procured by the understanding of the contrapuntal procedures used by Bach in this fascinating demonstration. In fact, the uninitiated as well as informed amateurs will be delighted by this music full of energy, rigor and majesty. The Quebec ensemble directed by Bernard Labadie does admirably justice to this monument in the history of music. -- Dominique Olivier
