February has been a busy travel month for me, so I haven’t posted as many new CDs on Klassic Haus Restorations as I have in past months. The ones I have managed to post, though are of great interest; the most recent being this recording with the great Karl Ristenpart conducting 2 Bach cantatas, one (BWV 56) receiving a second recording. Brief comments from the website follow:

- Listening to The Art of Fugue is hearing everything available to the composer of fugues, woven together better than any other composer has done, and rife with a sublime poetic energy. Throughout the twentieth century, a tenuously agreed upon arrangement of 22 movements makes up a most likely reliable incarnation of what the composer had in mind.
- The Art of Fugue (or The Art of the Fugue; German: Die Kunst der Fuge), BWV 1080, is an incomplete musical work of unspecified instrumentation by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750). Written in the last decade of his life, The Art of Fugue is the culmination of Bach's experimentation with monothematic instrumental works.

I am currently working on “Die Kunst der Fuge” BWV 1080 with Ristenpart conducting, and hope to have it posted by this weekend. More Ristenpart to come, as well as the Tchaikovsky Suite No. 2 with Walter Goehr conducting, some William Steinberg/Pittsburgh SO/Capitol recordings never reissued, and some exciting Dorati/Minneapolis on mono Mercurys. Please keep checking back! Cheers – Curt Timmons
