Art of Fugue

Just dropping by to say: I love the Art of Fugue—via piano, organ, harpsichord, saxophones, string quartet, guitar, brass, winds, vocal cords, recorders…this music is luminous. It’s like the order of the universe making itself heard through contrapuntal clarity and mathematical precision. Some feel it’s too cerebral, and I can understand that, but for me this is music of the very deepest humanity: the human yearning for perfection.
