I have been fan of the Canadian Brass for over 25 years. I appreciate their excellent musicianship, their fine ensemble playing and the wonderful interpretation of the music they present. I have several of their CDs . Several months ago, I purchased the Goldberg Variations and found this to be a very delightful album. So I Purchased the Bach, "Art of the Fugue." I had read the reviews on Amazon, and one reviewer recommended getting a copy of the original1988 recording rather than the remastered version. I was able to obtain a copy from one of Amazon's business partner. This is a wonderful album. Perhaps one of the Canadian Brass's best. Gene Watts plays his euphonium instead of his trombone which results in a much better blending of the instruments. The fact that different instruments are playing various parts of the fugue adds to the enjoyment. This is a must have album especially for those who love brass munic.

This is a uptempo version of Art of Fugue, no doubt about that. Yet, contrary to one other reviewer, there are other versions that fit the length of one CD, albeit still taking more than 60 minutes. (Fretwork's version for a consort of viols comes in just under the 80-minute mark, for example.)

That said, at this speed, some movements just don't "breathe" enough, even if Bach may have had fast tempos in his own time. But, the sounds of brass quintet on a piece like this, in addition to the tempos, make this a welcome addition to a collections of multiple Arts.
