Bach’s *The Art of Fugue*, performed by Hermann Diner and his ensemble, Collegium Musicum.\nThe SP records used are one of the very few sets recorded between 1936 and 1937—before World War II—as a string ensemble version of *The Art of Fugue*. They include Contrapunctus 1 through 13, the unfinished fugue, and four canons.\nThe leader, Hermann Diner (1897–1955), was a German-born music educator and violinist who also published his own critically edited edition of *The Art of Fugue*. While some details of Diner’s career remain unclear, he is supported by his co-author Charlotte Hampe (viola) and Paul Grünmer (viola da gamba), a member of the early Busch Quartet.\n\nRunning Time: 55:08\nRecorded: September 1936 – January 1937\n\nFeatures of Sherman Artworks’ Reissue CDs\nThe source material consists of classical SP records recorded approximately 60 to 110 years ago.\nFrom these historic recordings—which are now extremely difficult to obtain—masterpieces by maestros still celebrated in the classical music world today are played back on a one-of-a-kind phonograph and recorded using a 1-bit DSD recorder via stereo microphones. This process brings back to life the vibrant character inherent in SP records.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shellman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414275416353,"sku":"4562261400112","price":2619.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4562261400112.jpg?v=1788096482","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4562261400112","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
