Cuarteto Casals (string quartet)
Notated on four staves, as though intended for some unspecified set of instruments (or even voices or keyboard?), these thirteen erudite contrapuncti, four canons, and an unfinished triple fugue - incorporating the letters of Bach’s name - are often considered to be his musical testament.
Shrouded in myths traceable to its very origins, The Art of Fugue is a puzzle for the performers and for the listeners alike, but when a brilliant string quartet takes up the challenge, a solution becomes obvious, and the music takes flight.
