Die Kunst der Fuge/The Art of Fugue BWV 1080
Musica Antiqua Köln
Reinhard Goebel, violin & dir.
Margret Baumgartl, violin & viola
Karlheinz Steeb, viola
Klaus-Dieter Brandt, violoncello
Léon Berben, harpsichord
Wolfgang Kostujak, harpischord
In Die Kunst der Fuge (The Art of Fugue) composer Johann Sebastian Bach explores the the art of the fugue composition in 20 different variations.
In May 2006 members of Musica Antiqua Köln played Johann Sebastian Bach's Die Kunst der Fuge (The Art of Fugue) for this film project in various spaces of a museum building designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, close to the German town of Düsseldorf. The building is made of concrete, glass, and steel. The unique mix of reduction and minimalism on one hand and visual variety and opulence on the other hand makes it a perfect setting for a performance of Bach's Art of Fugue.
Since Reinhard Goebel founded it in 1973, Musica Antiqua Köln was the German ensemble for Early Music. The interpretation of The Art of Fugue pervades the history of the Musica Antiqua Cologne Ensemble not just because of its countless worldwide performances but also with its recording in 1986 which set a worldwide benchmark. In the year of disbandment the Ensemble recorded the opus again for the film.
In the film different parameters like shot size, shot length, perspective, rhythm or lighting, correspond with the musical form and dramaturgy.

So beautiful . I love this performance of the best music ever written
With its sheer, unreal beauty, the last fugue enlightens our poor world. It's incompleteness almost sounds like an encouragement for us to take over and do our humble part to bring the best we can in our life.
One of the greatest acheivements of humanity. BWV 1080 is eternal.
Tom T ... this is true. I would say that your statement can arguably apply to all human fields of endeavor. Science, literature, painting, sculpture, theatre and philosophy. If I were pressed in an extreme scenario to save any single human creation from a devastating catastrophe, it would be the score to this monumentally transcendental creation.
It seems like a really difficult work. Sometimes difficult to find a tonic, very much pushing boundaries.
100%
Bach wasn't showing off here; he was merely being honest.
Joyous Monkey With intellectual honesty and insight only the sky is the limit. @mercoid You are right. The contribution Bach did with 1080 is hard to overestimate: I have a friend that ranks composers, and at the top his list ends Schnittke, Brahms, Beethoven, blank, Mahler, blank, blank, God, blank, blank, blank, blank, Bach. ;)
Music on a totally different level all together.
This is so true, my dear friend.
Geheimnisvoll, stimmig, perfekt!!!
Die alte große Stadt am Rhein schickt ihre Besten... Ihr seid so schön !
Als Ihr Euch gegründet habt damals, war das in meiner Jugend wie eine Revolution, die plötzlich einen Namen hatte, ...ein amtlicher Sound fortan quasi.
Aber das wäre zu wenig... Danke einfach !
The depth and width of Bach’s diversity are immeasurable, and indescribable, and outclassing
That's the right tempo, IMO. Not fast, like an exuberant and tricky intellectual puzzle, not too slow like a sleepy lullaby. Just about perfect. Allows the listener to discern all voices correctly. Nice surround/reverb sound, as well. Almost comes close to the Ars Rediviva version. Good job.
Contrapunctus XIV : Goodbye Bach, hope to see you and hear you again in Heaven
No es triste, es grandioso. Son las armonías del universo, más allá del bien y del mal
The greatness of Bach's works is immeasurable and unfathomable like the spear of Longinus
nice metaphor.....
@@benedetti
Thankyou
I hope you are well
Spear of Longinus eh, thats a term I havent heard in a while

Shin-i-chikozima. YOU are great my bro'
Quite possibly the best interpretation of BWV 1080 ever to have been released publicly, IHMO. It beats even organ interpretation by Andre Isoir ans such like. Again, just a personal opinion.
It is my favourite interpretation too. I wish we could buy it on CD..
@@alishalilehwhy cant we? where can i find the audio files? i neeeeeed to have it in higher quality lol
Superb film and performance in every way.
Bach is joy that becomes pain and pain that becomes joy and both at the same time
Bach is the HIMalaya
Bach est l'or and the Master
Divine! Such beauty
Sehr cool gespielt! Und ein schönes Video noch dazu
Exellent!! The most magnificent Art of Fuga I've heard. Especially I like the harpsichidist's interpretation
The first version of 1080 I had was the 1984 reading by Musica Antiqua Köln. It was, and still is, superlative, unequalled to my ears. Since then I have tried and tried and tried to find another performance that comes close. So far I have failed in my quest. No one else seems able to catch the rich and devastating mystery so well. Apart, maybe, from the version in this video... which is performed by Musica Antiqua Köln!
Yes, you failed. You're a failure.
@@cornyrob Aye, but a happy one!
Joyous Monkey About 25-26ys ago i found a recording of 1080 on the Flentorp Organ at the Duke University, with Wolfgang Rübsam. That recording just stuck in my mind, and as a poor second year uni student, living on instant noodles i could afford it. It might dim my judgement, but that recording still resounds in me. So it will until the day dementia kicks in
@@tomt5745 When I got into Bach in 1988 I started off with the Ivor Bolton recording of BWV 1052, and the first time I listened to it I was transported. It wasn't until the 1990s that I encountered BWV 1080, and this was in a documentary on Bach. Joanna MacGregor was explaining the way the music just stops because Bach died. It was this programme that led me to get a recording and I was cursed or blessed with my first purchase, the Antiqua Koln.
I have a few others... the Koopman/Mathot harpsichord is definitely worth a listen. I quite enjoy the Fretwork version on viols. I'm still undecided about the Podger version - I seem to have really sensitive ears for when music is microscopically off-key, though.
1080 will always be the ultimate for me. I enjoy a vast array of music from punk to electronic to rock to Japanese chamber music, but most of my music is classical. And Bach is getting vertigo looking down from on high at all the music below him. Each time I listen I feel amazed, and always wonder: how on earth did he manage to do THAT?
Joyous Monkey this was
the recording that stuck for me th-cam.com/video/_FubJGJaxVY/w-d-xo.html
Glad to find this readily accessible on TH-cam. Morally I can say I have already purchased the CD of this music.
As have I, quite some time ago. Glad to have it.
The recording of this I played into the dust in my 20's. A not easy time for me.
DKdF flows with the power and profundity of a great infinite river - without depth or end. IMO one of the best things about this interpretation is that they end it with the unanswered Question and don't try to fill the hole with a Tovey or Göncz patch as if that could ever be satisfactorily done by a mere mortal.
I find the Moroney ending quite satisfying; have you ever heard that?

RISK9000 this is great!! Thank you
The beginning is missing !! A pity!
@@ptyxs There is no beginning... nor ending.
@@NYCBG The same for me, when I listen to Bach, Mass in B minor. Timeless beauty. Diese Interpretation und das Video sind überwältigend. Danke!!!
Genius, Bach. Divine.
JOY!
Absolute!
I’ve been listening to this recording 2 to 3 times a year since 1990. It never fails.
A beautiful version!
I bought this DVD. MAK’s 80s recording is a favorite and enjoyed these performances too. The art direction is infuriating at times with too many views of the architecture. but am glad so many can hear this work under G’s direction.
incredible
Best ending ever :))
Bellissima esecuzione!
This is an amazing upload. The whole thing! And with excellent audio quality.
Jehan Kanga. No, that's false. Audio quality is 128 kbps. There is no excelent quality sound, this is a shitty quality sound.
@@jmrecillas That's weird, oh well guess shitty audio just sounds better than good audio for me
Ja
@@jmrecillas Nein
@@jmrecillas true 128 kbps audio sounds significantly better than higher resolutions that are just exported at that quality and don't really match up in terms of true underlying quality.
Vulfpeck sent me here.
Who is Vulfpeck and why did he send you to this masterpiece?
Cette oeuvre de Bach est probablement l'une des plus fascinante de la musique occidentale , son interprétation actuelle dans un décors ultra moderne est bien sur troublante ;bravo pourtant aux ingénieurs du son et de la vision !
Lol why is that disturbing?
@@carsonwall2400 Cette œuvre mystérieuse par son absence apparente de destinataire me semble vouloir apporter une réponse au mystère divin .
Sublime
“And in the midst of our dying, as we rise from the organic and sink back ignominiously into the organic, it is a glory and a privilege to love what Death doesn’t touch"
_Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch
I am not a fan of memorable quotes, especially not the ones that you hang in your dorm room, as in, "this is ME!"
No. Not "me".
But this one sentence by Donna Tartt is too powerful to be ignored. Do with it as you wish. At your own peril.
Thanks for the name of Tadao Ando. The Farnsworth House is for me a personal milestone, so it's somewhat a convergence.
Hand written note at the abrupt end of BWV 1080, written by Bach's son Carl Phiipp Emanuel Bach: "Über dieser Fuge, wo der Name B A C H im Contrasubject angebracht worden, ist der Verfasser gestorben." ("At the point where the composer introduces the name BACH [for which the English notation would be B♭-A-C-B♮] in the countersubject to this fugue, the composer died."
Oh hell I remember watching this on TV back when I watched TV.
Gotta love good old öffentlich rechtliches Fernsehen for this.
Also thanks for the upload, friend!
The Masterwork
Unique... perfect... God is trying to speak in your soul!!!
Einfach nur großartig. Only great.

Man I've been listening to this recording for decades. I had no idea it was made in such an advanced modern studio. I had assumed all there years that MAK made it in a Gothic cathedral somewhere in the Black Forest of Germany... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freiburg_Minster
This stunning performance represents the absolute pinnacle of western music, with regards to composition as well as performance. Writing and not least playing dense counterpoint is a matter of spirit and passion! The recording displays visual counterpoint too, as icing on the cake. Is this recording available on DVD or Bluray? I need to find it.

Super! Will order it right away!
carlofarina hello. Any non amazon sources you might recommend?
@@johnshaw6664 a very good question.
So sad, that the beginning is missing.
If with the beginning, it would be removed.
+WA_rocks and much more sad that the end seems to be always be there, my dear wolfy, always there. oh, yes...
The end is also missing... ;)
I think it is because it was sent on tv. to make the peace instantly interesting to keep watchers. I could be wrong (most likely)
Great!!!
This so modern, I thought it was done recently
I never really get this piece while I love most other Bach's work. I'll listen to it several times and see if I get it now... after like 20 years of hearing it first.
+Romy Kim Stick with it; perhaps follow the gerubach score version. Take it from me; the more you listen to it, the more you will get from it. This is the best thing ever written by man. First and last contrapuncti are set apart, in different ways. 1st in simplicity, last in complexity.
same for me and I've been listening to it for at least 30 years
" This is the best thing ever written by man" a bit too absolute... there isn't such a thing. I humble think that this is far form being Bach's best
Thank you!

The 14 people who thumbs-downed this have no musical soul. This is the finest baroque composition of all time.
On the other hand 14 is Bach's number (2+1+3+8) so this may well have been ordained by an authority of a higher order.
@@frenchimp For those who didn't get it: BACH= B+A+C+H= 2+1+3+8=14
Nothing remotely baroque about it
Hey dudes, cool.. ahh.. hot interpretation!! Absolut brillant!!

Bravooooooooo!!!!!! (^0^)

JA. Ganz einfach, das ist es.
ムジカ・ｱﾝﾃｶ・ケルン！from japan
Me cuesta creer que pueda haber buena acústica en ese espacio de cristal y hormigón.
Of course the performance is outstanding but I would like to know if someone could tell me in what building it is they ‘re playin’ . A conservatorium not far from Köln, I don ‘t know but it is a good complex, isn ‘t it?
Naturlich ist die performance wunderbar aber kann vielleicht jemand mir sagen in welches Gebaude das consort spielt, bitte? Das seht auch schön aus, oder? Vielen Dank.
Sara Bernage ...Sara, refer to second paragraph of video description in the drop-down menu. I believe the building was chosen as much for it’s visual possibilities in mirroring the structure of the music, as well as its acoustics. A brilliant concept, well executed IMO.
Che goduria estrema!
esta obra se saborea mejor con partitura, es muy complicada y la vision de la musica ayuda
Contrapunctus XI et XII are close to God
Canon at the Octave is for 2 harpsichords???!!!
mmm, The Composer did not specify any instrumentation for The Art of Fugue (!!!)
@ Jay Preis I agree. this is keyboard music, I would even say organ music
ㄷㄷㄷㅎㄷㄷ
Can someone repost this recording without the first measure and a half of Contrapunctus I cut off?
Joe Ellerbrock i will try to in a couple of weeks and even in a better quality !
carlofarina ... that would be lovely, even though I feel fortunate enough to have access to this one as is. It delivers more than joy, it’s essential.
20:00
9:00 to 12:10
Although the modern architecture makes me want to slit my wrists, Bachs music and this performance survive it quite nicely.
I agree with you the modern architecture: it is so boring and repetitive.
A bit frenzied for me - prefer Munchinger / Stuttgarter Kammerorchester
aquella dita: per damunt de tu, només les flors. Quasi o. potser damunt les flors. Vegades penso que l'art de la fuga supera la mateixa gènesi de la humanitat, vaja, que no cal buscar un DEU, ja el tenim aqui.
Perfecte
