Album Notes & Community Reviews

Evgeni Koroliov delivers a masterful, profoundly meditative piano interpretation of J.S. Bach's famously unfinished masterwork, 'The Art of Fugue'. The album highlights the incredibly complex, polyphonic genius of Baroque composition through a deeply acoustic, mysterious, and highly technical instrumental performance.
