Description:

Asperlén's new album is the long-awaited J.S. Bach! The enigmatic and epic "Technique de fugue"! Bob van Asperen, Leonhardt's younger brother, is one of the world's leading harpsichordists in the Netherlands today. In recent years, he has been active in discovering and recording the works of Louis Couperin and Froberger, and now, after a long absence, he has recorded Bach's enigmatic masterpiece "The Technique of Fugue"! For this recording of "Technique des Fugues," Asperlén used a harpsichord from the collection of the Organaeum in Wehner, Lower Saxony, Germany, which was built in 1741 by the 17th century German master harpsichordist Christian Szell. Through an instrument made at the time of Bach's death and relatively close to the time of his composition, Asperen will explore the essence of the "technique of fugue". In the two mirror-image fugues, German harpsichordist Bernhard Klapprodt, a pupil of Asperlén's, takes charge of the second harpsichord.Master and disciple perform together to conclude "The Technique of Fugue.
