Review by Danielle McLean

Fugues by Bach, performed by the Emerson String Quartet, is a stunning album that showcases the beauty and complexity of Bach's music. The quartet's interpretation of Bach's fugues is masterful, with each member of the group bringing their own unique style and skill to the performance.

From the opening notes of the album, the quartet's precision and musicality are immediately apparent. The intricate interplay between the instruments is a joy to listen to, with each voice contributing to the overall structure and beauty of the music.

One of the standout tracks on the album is the quartet's rendition of Bach's "Art of Fugue," which is a true masterpiece of counterpoint and musical invention. The quartet's performance is breathtaking, with each member of the group bringing their own unique flair to the music.

About Bach, Emerson String Quartet

Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time. Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750. Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .
