Following its most successful recording, The Art of Fugue, the Emerson Quartet again dedicates its mastery to the music of J.S. Bach. The quartet, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2007, presents the world-premiere recording of the four-part fugues from the famous Well-Tempered Clavier as arranged for string quartet by Mozart and his contemporary, the Austrian composer Emanuel Aloys Förster “In the Art of Fugue, the Emerson String Quartet left an overall impression of intelligence and beauty. It is hard to go higher.” New York Sun “On the one hand, sharing out Bach's keyboard fugues among four players trivialises them; on the other, the threads of counterpoint are more clearly distinguished...The two five-voice fugues are included with a guest and an exciting thickening of the texture. Meanwhile, one becomes aware of the brevity of the pieces. With only one part to worry about, each player always seems ready to play on.” The Times, 14th June 2008 *** “Perfect playing, superb sound - but Bach shouldn't be this well tempered… Sonically speaking, the Emersons have never sounded better on disc, yet there's more to this music than their beautiful, world-class playing lets on.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach - Cantatas
“Pulsating and genuine fervour of that type is… found again in the disc containing three cantatas dating from 1959/60. I reviewed this in May 1993 and was mesmerized by the honesty of the performances, as well as several notable contributions, not least Sir Peter Pears’s invigorating singing in No. 67 and Keith Engen’s deeply moving ‘vox Christi’ in the same work. This was one of my 'Critics’ choices' of 1993” Gramophone Magazine | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
