SKU: CY.CC2369

Mike Hall, Professor of Trombone at Old Dominion University and Assistant Editor of the ITA Journal has released a 2 CD collection of J. S. Bach's ART of FUGUE, BWV 1080, which includes the Contrapuncti 1 through 12. Also included in this monumental musical project are four Canons, three additional fugues and Bach's last work (unfinished), the Chorale Vor deinen Thron tret' ich hiermit (Before Thy Throne).

Profess or Hall has recorded all of the tracks himself, playing on an alto, small tenor, symphony tenor and bass Trombone.

The two disks include over 80 minutes of some of the most brilliantly conceived music ever written. Professor Hall's playing is utterly amazing. These two disks should be in every serious Trombonist's library.

This recording of the twelve Contrapuncti has used the magnificent transcriptions by Ralph Sauer. Mr. Sauer's transcriptions are available in four separate volumes or as a complete collection from Cherry Classics Music.

Much has been speculated on the instrumentation of this contrapuntal masterpiece since Bach's death. For a long time, the fragmentary work was regarded as a piano work but since the early 20th century musicians have experimented with various instrumentations. This arrangement by Hans-Eberhard Dentler, who has carried out scientific research on The Art of Fugue for decades, manages through the choice of instrumentation not to use any kind of transposition. It also ensures the best possible transparency and faithfulness to the score through the soloistic rendering of the individual parts: the combination of bassoon and double bass as well as the assignment of the violoncello to the tenor part are the key to the faithful reproduction of all parts without any intervention of the arranger.

The Six Three-Part Preludes and Fugues are regarded as a unique testimony to Mozart's profound interest in the works of Bach. Or was it a brilliant contemporary of his who arranged the two preludes and five fugues by Johann Sebastian, and one fugue by Wilhelm Friedemann for string trio and supplemented the collection with further preludes? The new editions put the music text of Johann Nepomuk David's edition of the parts to the test, especially the editor's practical arrangement, which reflected the performance style of his time. These new editions go one step further, also in a performance-practical sense. The publication of the score and (orchestral) parts also enables string orchestras to play this piece for the first time - an instrumental possibility that is perfectly legitimate, both musically and historically. It is a fascinating addition to the repertoire that one can recommend to every chamber orchestra.Contents:No. 4 Adagio Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Adagio e dolce from the Sonata for Organ III BWV 527 Fuga Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Contrapunctus 8 from the Art of Fugue BWV 1080No. 5 Largo Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Largo from the Sonata for Organ II BWV 526 Fuga Mozart's arrangement of Johann Sebastian Bach, Allegro from the Sonata for Organ II BWV 526No. 6 Adagio by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Fuga Mozart's arrangement of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, Fuga in F minor Falk No. 31/8.
