5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning 'Modern' Performance of Bach's Art of Fugue 14 Jan 2010
By J Scott Morrison HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
I put the word 'modern' in scare quotes to indicate that this is a recording on the piano that does not, however, like Feltsman, romanticize the music. What some (on the American Amazon site) may consider boring, straightforward, clinical etc. I consider to be honoring Bach's intention. Bach was writing before the onset of romantic era taffy-pulling of phrasing and his music really ought to be played that way. This is not to say that Aimard isn't a master of phrasing and certainly his ability to bring out various contrapuntal strands is virtually unmatched. As for technique and musicianship, there are few pianists playing today who are in the same league as Aimard. That's probably the reason he can, once he sets his mind to it, play such disparate music as Messiaen's 'Vingt Regards' and Bach's 'Art of Fugue' as stunningly as he does.

If you are wanting a piano version of 'Art of Fugue' and, much as I love Sokolov's version (available, in any event, only in a multi-disc set), if you only want one version this is the one to have.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality In All Respects! 9 Oct 2010
By David Lusher TOP 1000 REVIEWER
Format:Audio CD
This is Pierre-Laurent Aimard's first release on DG and the fact that he has chosen Bach's 'Art Of Fugue' makes this record doubly interesting. Aimard's precision is wonderfully suited to Bach and the superb sound quality of this recording makes this altogether a thrilling listen. It's a highly skilled performance - recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Bach Piano Recording For The Ages 14 Aug 2008
By John Kwok
Format:Audio CD
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. S. Bach's "Art of the Fugue". Why? In one aspect Aimard is the best current student of contemporary polyphonic music for the keyboard, and he uses that knowledge to great advantage in these performances, showing utmost respect for Bach's intentions, without trying to insert his contemporary music-informed style of performance (I strongly disagree with another reviewer who finds this recording to be excessively Romantic. Having heard many of these works performed live at Carnegie Hall by him earlier this spring, they merely confirmed another strong side of his multi-faceted musical personality as a superb performing artist with a keen interest in musical scholarship too.). Without question this is one of Aimard's finest recordings, and a brilliant start to his newly cemented partnership with Deutsche Grammophon.
