About the album

Rethinking a masterpiece. The Art of Fugue is both Johann Sebastian Bach’s opus summum and last complete work, presumably undertaken between 1740 and 1742. According to the frontispiece, the work’s original title actually read DIE KUNST DER FUGA, notably featuring the Latin (or Italian) word fuga rather than German Fuge - as found, instead, in the two printed editions of 1751 and 1752. Die Kunst der Fuga (KdF hereafter), in the form and the order presented in the Berlin Autograph, has all the appearance of a finished work featuring 14 fugues and canons, all based upon a single original theme, serving as the work’s foundation and with the individual pieces progressing in an increasing order of difficulty and contrapuntal perfection.
This brief study sets out to attempt a switch in perspective, shifting from the ‘point of view’ of the First Printed Edition – through which the KdF has traditionally been examined by the vast majority of scholars – to that of the Berlin Autograph. Despite having already been studied and collated with the 1751 and 1752 editions, the autograph has always been viewed by the dominant ideology as incomplete; little more than a preparatory stage for its printed counterparts. Only in recent times have scholars (amongst whom Christoph Wolff) started to note that the KdF as found in the autograph manuscript at the time of its completion might well stand comparison with the alleged ‘final version’ of the printed editions, and thus may be elevated to the full dignity of an Alte Fassung. And this study would argue that the Berlin Autograph contains, in fact, the latest and ‘closest-to-final’ version of the KdF, whilst the First Printed Edition is entirely the result of the conjoint efforts of Bach’s children and students as there is no proof that Bach was ever involved in preparatory works concerning any other of its pieces. Furthermore, the order displayed in the Berlin Autograph appears decidedly more logical and “artistic” than that of the First Printed Edition – which, by comparison, appears less interesting (tending towards pedantic) and not without compilation errors.
Far from being a merely speculative or theoretical work, Die Kunst der Fuga is a work for manualiter keyboard. But true to the spirit of an era of musica prattica, performing polyphonic keyboard repertoire with instrumental ensembles aligns with a consolidated tradition that finds it roots in an amply documented practice dating all the way back to the 16th century. The viol consort had been the “instrument” par excellence since the 16th century for its ability to render transparent even the most complex of polyphonies, and it had only just left the scene to the modern virtuoso baroque orchestra. And our choice of combining the violin (a da braccio instrument) with the members of the da gamba family falls perfectly within the German musical tradition.
Het ervaren en internationaal erkende Italiaanse ensemble Accademia Strumentale Italiana heeft een geheel nieuwe weergave van Die Kunst der Fuga opgenomen, een meesterwerk van Johann Sebastian Bach. De uitvoering van de muziek is gebaseerd op recent musicologisch onderzoek - met als enige en unieke bron Bachs manuscript - en toont een ingrijpende innovatieve benadering. De keuze van de instrumenten past perfect bij de historische uitvoeringspraktijk, wat zorgt voor een wonderschone luisterervaring.

Je waant je in vervlogen tijden met deze zo mooi uitgevoerde fuga's van Bach. Het meesterwerk Die Kunst der Fuga is zowel Bachs opus summum, als zijn laatste complete werk, waarschijnlijk gemaakt tussen 1740 en 1742. Die Kunst der Fuga is de oorspronkelijke titel van het werk, met de nadruk op het Latijnse (of Italiaanse) woord Fuga in plaats van het Duitse Fuge - zoals te lezen in de twee gedrukte edities van 1751 en 1752. Deze laatste versies worden toegeschreven aan gezamenlijke inspanningen van Bachs kinderen en studenten. Vorm en arrangement van het oorspronkelijke manuscript Die Kunst der Fuga wijzen volgens recent onderzoek uit, dat het hier om een afgewerkt werk gaat, met 14 fuga's en canons, allemaal gebaseerd op één origineel thema. Ze vormen de basis van het werk, waarin de afzonderlijke stukken een steeds hogere moeilijkheidsgraad en een toenemende contrapuntische perfectie vertonen.

Het ensemble Accademia Strumentale weerspiegelt de magie van een verloren klank in Bachs meesterwerk. De uitvoering op 16e-eeuwse strijkinstrumenten - uit de 'viol familie' - is trouw aan de geest van de renaissance en barok traditie. De combinatie van viool en de viol familie lijkt verbluffend veel op de klank van het orgel, waar Die Kunst der Fuga oorspronkelijk voor geschreven is. Het Viol-consort is het 'instrument' bij uitstek vanwege zijn vermogen om zelfs de meest complexe polyfonieën transparant te maken.

De Accademia Strumentale Italiana werd opgericht in Verona met als specifiek doel de sferen op te roepen van de oude en illustere Italiaanse academies, daar waar het plezier van elkaar ontmoeten een speciaal tintje gaf aan het samen muziek maken. Het repertoire van het ensemble omvat instrumentale en vocale muziek, variërend van de renaissance tot de barok. Muziek die uitgevoerd wordt conform strikt filologische canons, zonder afbreuk te doen aan het vermogen om te communiceren met het heden. De musici van de Accademia zijn ervan overtuigd dat, zelfs als de partituur oud is, muziek altijd tijdloos is.
Ein Meisterwerk neu durchdacht: Die Kunst der Fuge ist sowohl Johann Sebastian Bachs Opus summum als auch sein letztes vollständiges Werk, vermutlich entstanden zwischen 1740 und 1742. Dem Frontispiz zufolge war der Originaltitel eigentlich DIE KUNST DER FUGA, mit dem lateinischen (oder italienischen) Wort „fuga“ anstelle des deutschen „Fuge“, das man in den beiden Druckfassungen von 1751 und 1752 findet. Die Kunst der Fuga, in der Form und Anordnung der Berliner Urschrift, sieht aus wie ein fertiges Werk: 14 Fugen und Kanons, alle basiert auf einem einzigen, originalen Thema, bilden den Grundstein des Werkes, in dem die individuellen Stücke in ihrer Folge von immer größerem Anspruch und zunehmender kontrapunktischer Perfektion sind.
Was diese kurze Studie zu erreichen sucht ist ein Perspektivwechsel vom „Standpunkt“ der ersten gedruckten Fassung – in der die Kunst der Fuga traditionell von der Mehrheit der Forscher analysiert wurde – hin zu dem des Berliner Autographen. Wenngleich dieses Autograph bereits studiert und mit den Fassungen aus 1751 und 1752 verglichen worden ist, wurde das Autograph von der dominanten Ideenlehre als unvollständig betrachtet, als wenig mehr als eine vorbereitende Phase für die Druckfassungen. Forscher (unter ihnen Christoph Wolff) haben erst vor Kurzem begonnen zur Kenntnis zu nehmen, dass die Kunst der Fuga, wie man sie im ursprünglichen Manuskript findet, zur Zeit ihrer Vollendung sehr wohl dem Vergleich mit der vermeintlich „finalen Fassung“ der gedruckten Editionen standhalten und somit die volle Würde einer „alten Fassung“ verliehen bekommen kann. Diese Studie argumentiert ebenfalls, dass das Berliner Autograph eigentlich die letzte und „endgültigste“ Fassung der Kunst der Fuga beinhaltet, während die gesamte erste Druckfassung vielmehr das Ergebnis gemeinsamer Bestrebungen von Bachs Kindern und Schülern ist, da es keine Nachweise gibt, dass Bach selbst an vorbereitenden Werken anderer Kompositionen beteiligt war. Zudem erscheint die Anordnung der einzelnen Fugen des Berliner Autographs dezidiert logischer und „künstlerischer“ als die der ersten Druckfassung – die im Vergleich weniger interessant (im Gegenteil eher zum Pedantischen zu tendieren) scheint und in der Zusammenstellung nicht fehlerlos ist.
Keineswegs eine nur spekulative oder theoretische Komposition, ist Die Kunst der Fuga ein Werk für Tasteninstrumente manualiter. Doch ganz im Geiste einer Ära der musica prattica richtet sich eine Interpretation polyphoner Tastenmusik mit Instrumentalensembles an einer gemeinsamen Tradition aus, die ihre Wurzeln in wohldokumentierter Praxis aus dem 16. Jahrhundert hat. Das Gambenconsort war seit dem 16. Jahrhundert das „Instrument“ par excellence wegen seiner Fähigkeit, selbst die komplexesten Polyphonien transparent umzusetzen, und es war eben erst dem modernen virtuosen Barockorchester gewichen. Und unsere Wahl, die Violine (ein da braccio-Instrument) mit den Mitgliedern der Gambenfamilie zu kombinieren, fällt genau in die deutsche Musiktradition.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Johann Sebastian Bach was a German composer and musician of the Baroque period. He enriched established German styles through his skill in counterpoint, harmonic and motivic organisation, and the adaptation of rhythms, forms, and textures from abroad, particularly from Italy and France. Bach's compositions include the Brandenburg Concertos, the Goldberg Variations, the Mass in B minor, two Passions, and hundreds of cantatas. His music is revered for its technical command, artistic beauty, and intellectual depth.  Bach's abilities as an organist were highly respected during his lifetime, although he was not widely recognised as a great composer until a revival of interest in and performances of his music in the first half of the 19th century. He is now generally regarded as one of the greatest composers of all time.

Overall, the performance is pretty and appealing but finally not especially compelling. The fugue in French style is well done, with the organ supplying an effective continuo and the strings indulging in lovely French-style trills. 
American Record Guide, 01-3-2021

The truly appreciable result is, on the one hand, remarkably enveloping, on the other less monochrome and more varied in the instrumental colors, more transparent even in the densest and most complex passages.
Amadeus, 01-2-2021

Violin, treble viol, tenor viol, bass viol, violone and organ is the instrumentation chosen by Alberto Rasi for this reading of The art of fugue, which is extraordinarily canonical, without the most minimal concession to the gallery. The strings work fine, but it's Luca Guglielmi's organ which gets the lion's share.
Scherzo, 01-2-2021

"A very severe edition, rich in chiaroscuros, spanning from austere meditative withdrawls, ecstatic surrenders and flowing agogic options" "We don't hesitate to list this account among the most charming and interesting played on intstrumental ensembles"

Opus Klassiek, 12-9-2020

I am delighted to be able to add my own response to what looks like becoming a favourite when it comes to chamber-music settings of The Art of Fugue.

Alberto Rasi and his Accademia will also feature in my future listening, presenting the music as it appears in autograph and making a strong case for it.
