In the last decade of his life Bach joyfully and purposefully immersed himself in the culmination of a life's work - intending to place his own indelible stamp on the vanishing art of pure counterpoint. The Art of Fugue is Bach's final major instrumental composition, a prodigious demonstration of contrapuntal craft. This new recording features Andrew Rangell, one of the truly distinguished Bach interpreters of the present day.   The Steinway label is establishing a reputation for capturing the sound of their instruments, the finest in the world, in these exceptional audiophile recordings.
