The first recording of the mystical The Art of Fugue by a world-renowned pianist since 1982. A pre-eminent performer of modern music, Aimard brings a unique and exciting approach to Bach.
Aimard is a high-profile, important performer, especially given his links to many of the great contemporary composers; his first Bach recording is certain to generate much of interest in the music press.
“…what Aimard offers is perhaps one of the most intellectually rigorous piano versions available. No contrapuntal density defeats his forensic brain or articulate fingers. He does find lyricism and exhilaration, but there is an evenness of purpose which is both a strength… and a weakness when set against the pronounced poetry of Koroliov or MacGregor.” (BBC Music Magazine)
This is Bach-playing to listen to every day, Fresh, spry and well modulated. If spirituality is to be found in The Art of Fugue, Aimard seems to say, it will not be through slow tempi, dynamic extremes or the quasi-religious trappings… Perhaps no pianist since Charles Rosen has no persuasively demonstrated that this contrapuntal encyclopaedia is to be heard as well as read.” (Gramophone)
“Staggering technique, searching intellect and fantastical imagination” New (York Times)
