Described in an obituary appearing in The Independent as ‘a Bach player who flung stylistic considerations to the winds and played the music with an irrepressible musical intelligence and knowledge of the resources of her chosen instrument’, Tatiana Nikolayeva made this recording of Bach’s ‘Art of Fugue’ in 1992, the year before her death: ‘Absolutely superb. Certainly I can think of no finer recording of this endlessly fascinating masterpiece, whatever the medium. Highly recommended’ (CDReview).
