Phantasm; Laurence Dreyfus - Bach: The Well-Tempered Consort - III

This is the third and final instalment of the Well-Tempered Consort series (5 Diapasons, Gramophone Editor's Choice, BBC Music Magazine Chamber Choice). In this programme devised by its director Laurence Dreyfus, the viol consort Phantasm continues to shine new light on the fugues from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier interspersed with some of the composer's most harmonically adventurous experiments from the Clavier�bung III. This polyphonic feast also includes two works from the Inventions and Sinfonias as well as the Fantasia in G major BWV 572, or Pi�ce d'orgue as it is sometimes called, which boasts an extraordinary closing pedal point. A fitting end to a remarkable journey!
