The "superb" (Daily Telegraph) Accademia Bizantina and Ottavio Dantone present a refreshing new interpretation of Bach's The Art of Fugue. Performed on period instruments, the album features Dantone on harpsichord and conducting a reduced ensemble from Accademia Bizantina: a string quartet and organist. Together, they bring new life to this great masterpiece.

Accademia Bizantina - Ottavio Dantone harpsichord & conductor, Alessandro Tampieri violin I · Ana Liz Ojeda violin II, Diego Mecca viola · Mauro Valli cello, Stefano Demicheli organ.

    Haydn's 78th through 81st symphonies mark his first intentions to publish works for an international market, rather than being solely a private commission from his long-term patron, Prince Esterhazy. Through an astute recording by the Accademia Bizantina led by Ottavio Dantone, the ensemble magnifies the turmoil found within these four works, which is representative of Haydn's own evolving musi...
