This is the third and final instalment of the Well-Tempered Consort series (5 Diapasons, Gramophone Editor's Choice, BBC Music Magazine Chamber Choice). In this programme devised by its director Laurence Dreyfus, the viol consort Phantasm continues to shine new light on the fugues from Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier interspersed with some of the composer's most harmonically adventurous experiments from the Clavierübung III. This polyphonic feast also includes two works from the Inventions and Sinfonias as well as the Fantasia in G major BWV 572, or Pièce d'orgue as it is sometimes called, which boasts an extraordinary closing pedal point. A fitting end to a remarkable journey!
"Recoloured in this scrumptious, nasal resonance, Phantasm have brought to life aspects of Bach's music I knew to be there, inscribed into the musical notation, with utter stylishness." - Gramophone Editor's Choice March 2023
"This is a truly outstanding album, which rewards the listener with profound aural pleasure. Through the intimacy of the viol consort these keyboard works are clothed in a new timbral mantle, equally sumptuous and revelatory." Recording of the Month
