„The Art of Fuge“ on Bach's instruments

CD recording with Collegium Musicum '23

For the first time, Johann Sebastian Bach's contrapuntal masterpiece is performed by the Collegium Musicum ‘23 on the surviving instruments of St Thomas Church in Leipzig, which have been there since Bach was cantor. The enigmatic and unfinished work is framed by the first and last chorales from Bach's Leipzig period, played by Johannes Lang on the Hildebrandt organ in Störmthal near Leipzig, which the great master himself also played. CD release on the label Ramée in June 2025.
