Title: A work of genius renderered by a sublime artist
Review: The Art of the Fugue is a sublime piece of music that reveals something new about itself with each listening, and numerous interpreters from Charles Rosen to the Emerson String Quartet have offered illuminating versions which can be unreservedly recommended. That said, this recording by Tatiana Nikolayeva is the one to which I return most frequently. It is a work of genius performed with diamondlike clarity by an artist of fierce intelligence, supreme technical skill and emotional depth. This is most definitely a desert island disc.
