Les Voix Humaines - Anguille Sous Roche - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Bach's the Art of Fugue, the peak of Baroque contrapuntal style, is one of the most enigmatic works in music history. Though composed as a series of fugues on the same subject, Bach did not specify the instruments that should play them. On this CD, Les Voix Humaines plays it's own version of Bach's unfinished final work.

2017 . For Homecoming, there was only one guideline All compositions had to be by Vince Mendoza.

The band appreciated his high level of commitment. The recording shows, that permanently employed musicians of a broadcasting house orchestra, working in a well-organized setting, are not necessarily just Inchfinishing a projectInch but can be inspired and at ease when performing. There is no hint of this tiring theme/solo/solo/solo/theme-pattern as Vince Mendoza is a true master of the organic form and the musical arc, a master of densely interwoven musical thoughts. The six- to nine minutes long compositions are complex and intensive without being excessive - on the contrary the music breathes.
