Each movement, from the lively Allegro to the serene Adagio and Siciliano, is a testament to Bach's ability to evoke a range of emotions through his music.
The second half of the album delves into The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080, a collection of complex fugues that demonstrate Bach's profound understanding of counterpoint. Arranged by Isaacs, these pieces, including Contrapunctus 1 through 13 and several canons, are a technical marvel and a delight for the discerning classical music enthusiast.
