Those who think of Pierre-Laurent Aimard primarily as the superb interpreter of Messaien or Carter only, will be pleasantly surprised hearing his Deutsche Grammophon recording. Those of us alreadly familiar with his splendid Beethoven, Mozart and Schumann recordings for Warner Classics will not be surprised with his debut recording for Deutsche Grammophon, an utterly sublime, truly revelatory account of J.

2.Bach: The Art of Fugue /Moroney from: Bach 2000 Edition September 01, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £18.99
Who coined this phrase in relation to Bach I have long forgotten, and I have no idea whether it conveyed the same meaning to whoever it was as it does to me.

It seems to me futile to look for expression in any ordinary sense in these wonderful musical theorems. They are sublime much as pure mathematics is ... Read More:
