  • 7:30. Combining both fugue themes...With the death of Bach, music ceased to be written...

  • oh that's nothing. The combination of all 4 subjects (art of fugue, cp14 1st, cp14 second, BACH) sounds glorious. What a shame he left it unfinished.

    A clean combination of all 4 subjects is right at the beginning of this video: /watch?v=1Z7lzUYX-FE

  • For me the last fugue evokes departure from the material world after death and gradually entering the sphere of the hereafter.

  • This captures the beauty of the whole universe.

    Glenn Gould!

  • Yes, 14 is marvelous. And Bach, bless him, as with so much else he wrote, left it within the capability of amateurs prepared to take the many months necessary to learn it. I hav'nt yet begun, but I look forward.

  • In my opinion the best version (complete) of the Art of the fugue is by Evgeny Koroliov. Ligeti said about this recording that he would take it on a desert island if he were allowed only one record.

  • @MarcusHK1 - That's my feeling too.

    For a "postcard from the other side", listen to his final work:

  • Bach is the last person who was sended to Earth by God

    Bach and Glenn gould both Genius no doubt about that.
