| Quote: | | Bach never specified what instrument or instruments he wanted The Art of Fugue played on; nor did he finish it. Fretwork, a group of six superb viol players, leave the work incomplete, stopping in mid-phrase--the effect is persuasive rather than unsatisfying. The sound of the six different-sized viols is just right for listening to the way Bach intermingles the multiple lines through and around one another--we can learn what counterpoint is just by listening to this CD. Some find the work severe and difficult, and played on a single instrument, like a harpsichord, it can be. But Fretwork manage to vary their tones sufficiently to turn the work into entertainment, albeit intellectual entertainment. You may not come away humming, but you'll be fascinated. - Robert Levine |
| Quote: | More old music made new appears on Harmonia Mundi HMU 907296 when those wizards of the viols, Fretwork, tackle Bach's mighty Art of Fugue. Musical acrostic puzzle? Last will and testament? The mysteries never end. Nor does the debate about the best means of performance (keyboard or instrumental group?). A viol consort proves a brilliant solution. Viols offer unity of tone (dark brown; great for minor-key melancholy). At the same time lines emerge clearly, evenly weighted: crucial for this monument to Bach's second God, counterpoint, built out of fugal variations on a theme turned upside down, inside out, back to front.
Bach and Fretwork ensure that every track offers some tangible delight: the swung dotted rhythms in Contrapunctus 2, say, or the merrily scampering Canon alla Ottava, or the piquant sonorities of the viol duet in Canon alla Duodecima. This is not music that sits easily on performers’ fingers, but the six members of Fretwork make it appear so. Buy this CD now; cherish it forever. - Geoff Brown |
| Quote: | A viol consort offers an excellent medium for conveying clearly the contrapunctal intricacies of Bach's 'The Art of Fugue'. The members of Fretwork offer a refreshing and musically satisfying alternative to the myriad keyboard versions available on disc.
Highlights for me include the overdotted French-overture style of Contrapunctus 6, the predominantly chromatic three-voiced Contrapunctus 8, the wonderful four-part triple fugue of Contrapunctus 11, the clear communication of the subtleties of the canons and, of course, the unfinished Contrapunctus 14 on three new themes, including B-A-C-H, which Fretwork considers the most plausible climax of Bach's developing polyphonic masterpiece. This is responsive and spirited music making, full of expressive detail, yet sounding fresh and spontaneous. The recorded sound is exemplary. - Robin Stowell |
| Quote: | Fretwork's decidedly retro approach to Bach's much-arranged and incessantly fiddled-with unfinished 'last' opus is among the simplest and therefore most effective renditions on disc. This renowned ensemble takes on Bach's somewhat ambiguously scored and variously configured collection of fugues (contrapuncti) and canons and performs them on combinations of viols (six in all). Although the evidence points most strongly to this work being intended for keyboard performance - and indeed it nearly always comes off best when realised this way - Fretwork's viol-consort settings preserve important linear and harmonic balances inherent in a single-instrument rendition while imbuing each movement with the viols' naturally warm, complexly-coloured, reedy timbres. While the more densely-textured movements can lose some definition in places - where the resonance of the lower-register instruments dominates - these performances are more coherent and cohesive and clearly articulated than any of the available versions scored for assortments of wind and strings. Although invariably interesting as exercises and often sonically exciting, these latter 'deconstructive' transcriptions/arrangements have a distracting effect on the listener, calling attention to individual lines rather than to the well-formed unity of the whole.
Fretwork's players deliver nothing less than polished, involving and faithful-to-the-score performances (albeit with their own ordering of movements), ever vigilant to balances and nuances of phrasing. And their trueness to Bach remains constant to the end, where they choose the honoured practice of performing the final 'Fuga a 3 Soggetti' unfinished, leaving the listener in mid-sentence, to abrupt, unsettling silence. The whole effort is supported by full-bodied, vibrant sound with excellent spatial definition among and between instruments. If you want to get to know this intriguing and endlessly fascinating work, this is a perfect place to start; if you're a Bach fan and you don’t have it, get it. - David Vernier |
| Quote: | I am an avid collector of performances of Bach's Art of Fugue. Among my favorites are the version by the Emerson Quartet, the Canadian Brass, and the version for string orchestra by Bernard Labadie and the Violons du Roy. But this recording by Fretwork, which features a performance of the Art of Fugue for viol consort is probably my favorite; it's certainly the one that I listen to the most. In my opinion, the haunting, ethereal, and rather 'open' sound of the viol is the perfect medium to convey the true character of Bach's final masterpiece.
Yes, I am aware that performing the Art of Fugue on viols is not historically accurate, but unless one absolutely has to have a period instrument performance, what does it matter? Actually, I find the 'inauthenticity' of the performance rather unique in that most 'historicaly inaccurate' baroque performances use instruments that came into use after the baroque period (e.g, piano). But the viol's popularity reached its height during the century before Bach and had already gone out of fashion by the time of Bach's birth, the last work of real significance written specifically for viols being Henry Purcell's brilliant series of Fantasias from 1680 (I would recommend Jordi Savall/Hesperion XX's recording of these pieces). So, this recording of Bach's Art of Fugue for viol consort achieves a rather different kind of musical anachronism than what most are accustomed to: it uses instruments from the period before the piece being performed was written. I find this very intriguing and would be interested in hearing how this would work with other, perhaps later music. I could imagine that Schubert's fourteenth string quartet, the 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet, would sound very interesting performed on viol consort!
In any event, the performance on this CD strikes me as basically flawless and thus fit for listening on headphones, which make the experience even more haunting and intimate. |
| Quote: | Fretwork is a consort of viols based in England, United Kingdom. Formed in 1986, the group consists of six players and is considered to be one of the finest groups performing music for viol consort. Its repertoire consists primarily of music of the Renaissance period, in particular that of Elizabethan England, and the Baroque period, including arrangements of the music of J.S. Bach.
The group has toured all over the world, with tours of Japan & USA, and three visits to Russia, the first when it was still the Soviet Union in 1989. They initiated a series of courses for voices and viols on the Greek island of Evvia with Michael Chance, and have also been invited twice to teach on the annual Conclave of the Viola da Gamba Society of America.
In addition to its performances of early music, Fretwork has been active in commissioning new works for viol consort. Its 1997 recording Sit Fast includes new works by such composers as Gavin Bryars, Tan Dun, and Elvis Costello. It has also commissioned music from Sir John Tavener, Alexander Goehr, George Benjamin, Duncan Druce, Fabrice Fitch, Gavin Bryars, Barry Guy, Poul Ruders, Simon Bainbridge, Ivan Moody, John Woolrich, Thea Musgrave, Peter Sculthorpe, Sally Beamish, Andrew Keeling and Orlando Gough.
Fretwork has recorded a series of discs for Virgin Classics and currently records for Harmonia Mundi USA. Recent discs include 'Alio Modo' (arrangements of keyboard music by Bach), Chansons by Alexander Agricola and Fabrice Fitch and a disc of consort songs with Emma Kirkby.
Fretwork was recently featured on the soundtracks of two Jim Jarmusch movies, Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) and Broken Flowers (2005). Other filmtracks include The Da Vinci Code, Kingdom of Heaven, The Crucible, La Fille d'Artagnant and many others. It has also recorded for Robbie Williams (Supreme) and Loreena McKennitt (for the album An Ancient Muse). |

| Quote: | Award wining soloist Rolf Lislevand using a eleven-course baroque lute gives a revelatory recital of unaccompanied seventeenth century French lute music on the Astrée Naïve label. Lislevand states in the booklet notes that probably never since the period when this lute music was written has such beautiful music been performed by so few people. His sentiments are pretty accurate and I cannot understand why such wonderful music has been ignored for so long.
The popularity of the lute began to fade as the popularity of the violin increased and the lute became virtually obsolete with the advent of the pianoforte. The last great lute composers were J.S. Bach who significantly composed several lute suites and Handel who was utilising lute parts in his last opera Deidamia in 1741.
These compositions are successfully written for the most part in the style of short dances and grouped together in sets or suites. The characteristic fashion of the time of labelling each piece with a poetic or descriptive designation is used although the titles bear little or no resemblance to their character and expression. ‘La Belle Homicide’ the title of this Astrée Naïve release uses the name given by composer Denis Gaultier ‘de Paris’ to one of his works which was one of the most popular of the period.
Lislevand uses the manuscript of lute works from seven different French composers compiled by Barbe which is in itself a guarantee of the quality of the selected works. They are not arranged in any particular manner other than their common mode and tonality. Barbe was not afraid to join several of the pieces together by different composers into a more continuous work. To me, a non lute player, the seven French composers sound remarkably similar in style and owing, I guess, to the way that they are phrased I observed that it was virtually impossible for me to sense what notes were coming next.
If the listener has not read the explanation in the booklet notes it can come as a shock to hear several seconds of animal, bird and reptile calls at the beginning of three of the pieces. We are informed by the soloist that the recording sessions were undertaken in Maguelone Abbey in France at night and the nature sounds were left to provide atmosphere to the proceedings. Furthermore, for reasons of spontaneity and realism, some of Lislevand’s instrumental tuning and experimentation made during the recording sessions have not been edited out as can be heard on track 11 between points 1:44-1:52.
In the informative yet rather high-brow booklet notes lutenist Lislevand discusses how he finds the term ‘historical authentic performance practice’ now to be burnt-out and states that a new term ‘historical perception practice’ has arisen from the ashes, which explains what a performer desires to attain, subscribing to a specific attitude and belief. Somehow this all seems rather pretentious! I must say just how much I love the packaging of this Astrée Naïve release, in particularly the imaginative art work.
The lute playing is exceptionally fluent and the phrasing is perfectly judged with a sense of real involvement and empathy for the works. Through Rolf Lislevand’s amazing playing of these excellent compositions and near perfect acoustics this release was a revelation to me and touched my emotions in a most unique way leaving me with a remarkable sense of spirituality that I have never previously experienced with any recording.
The sound quality is in demonstration class and I could easily imagine being alongside the lutenist during the actual night recording session. I urge listeners who wouldn’t normally purchase a recital of lute works to hear this superlative recording. - Michael Cookson |

| Quote: | The opening of the cycle in the famous Juilliard Quartet's interpretation is perhaps one of the most beautiful Cp.1 ever recorded. Each single note - and even the fermata before the coda - is filled with so much solemn warmth and respectful tenderness that it can make your heart melt away. There are more examples of astounding beauty, and these are also astoundingly slow: for example Canon alla Decima (6:18!) and Canon per Augmentationem (7:17!). Also, Cp.10 has rarely been heard as slow as here.
Slowness, of course, would be no sufficient conception for performing the whole work (an exception has been developed by the pianist Anton Batagov), and musical tenderness might be unbearable for the length of ninety minutes. The quartet, prized and honoured for their Beethoven and many 20th century music recordings, shows an amazing variety of expressions, and in their confrontation with Bach's "non-emotional" score some of their courageous approaches work well, some less.
Cp.2, for example, gains a lot from the quartet's skill of subtle dynamic and tempo changes. But why should Cp.6, originally "in stylo francese", sound like a movement from Bartók's middle string quartets? Sure: why not? But in this context here it appears simply unfriendly and rough.
Once again we get to the question if DKdF has to be played completely in one breath. And once more we are glad about the answer that is given as the CD medium: we can combine our own program and change, repeat, stop or continue it whenever we want. For this purpose, the Juilliard's version offers material on finest artistic level.
One of the recording's most appealing qualities is its deep wooden tone, darker than other string quartets. Especially for the use in this project they had built a new instrument, a viola with an enlarged deeper scale, and maybe this is the reason for the impression of a fireside soirée in a private library with old books, brown leather and a carved ceiling.
Good booklet in English/German/French.
Recommendation: Not as a whole, but certainly worth for most of the movements. No flash appealing to be expected - take your time to listen to it later, and even years later... - Thomas Radleff |
