KUNST DER FUGE

Unfinished past? Nothing could be further from the truth: ‘Die Kunst der Fuge’ by Johann Sebastian Bach escapes all rigid ideas about time, space, art and creation. Composed in the last ten years of his life, the opus would not be published until after the death of the Thomas kantor. Is that why it took on so many lives of its own in the following centuries? With Hathor Consort, Romina Lischka gives her special view on the fugues and canons that highlight Bach’s compositional genius and spiritual depth.
