J S Bach / The Art of Fugue

Where else to begin The Art of Flight than with the astonishing piece that inspired the entire series – Bach’s The Art of Fugue. A complex musical puzzle of infinite beauty and elegance, it is the definitive exploration of the art of fugal writing and has inspired generations of composers and musicians ever since. When it comes to a performance of The Art of Fugue, there is one performer who stands out as a musician able to journey through its labyrinthine corridors with exceptional skill and to convey its sense of intimacy and perfection: Angela Hewitt.
