Tracing Bach

Pianist Yaara Tal selected ten fugues from different composers through 250 years of musical history and placed each of them alongside a prelude from the Well-Tempered Clavier. The selected fugues are by composers such as W.F. Bach, Robert Schumann, Fréderic Chopin, Johann Nepomuk Hummel, Russian composer Anton Arensky and contemporary composer Reinhard Febel. The connecting points are as manifold as the fugues themselves; they enter into a fascinating dialogue with Bach. (Sony)
