This is the debut disc of the organist Colm Carey on Signum Records. Die Kunst der Fuge is one of J S Bach's great contrapuntal masterpieces—extraordinary for each movement being in the same key. It is a remarkable cohesion of material and style. Bach, at the end of his life, seems to be in pursuit of a pure and abstract contrapuntal beauty, which encourages a retrospective foray into the works of past masters such as Palestrina and Frescobaldi. Playing the van Leeuwen/Flentrop organ in the Dutch Church, London, Colm Carey confronts and examines the nature of the music; its emotional impact and relevance in the context of the early 21st century.
