Fugue in C of Dog - Classical Music for Dogs | Calming & Relaxing Pet Therapy | Perfect for Anxious Pets & Home Relaxation

Bach's Art of Fugue is a curious work. Left unfinished at the composer's death, he didn't even specify instruments. Unlike most period authentic performances of the Art of Fugue that try to assign an instrumentation Bach might have picked, this recording features the unusual but successful choice of saxophone quartet. The music remains timeless Bach, and is well suited to the quartet's sound. It is a recording I come back to again and again. Something about these fugues is just sublime!The second disc is series of more contemporary sax quartet pieces which all address the fugue in some way, a sort of dialogue between these composers and Bach. They are interesting and employ various extended techniques but may not appeal to some whose tastes are more strictly classical. Certainly it is almost as if there are two albums with separate concepts here, it might be interesting to put it on shuffle and hear the Bach mixed in with the others.
