    Here I'm afraid we disagree again; I had Fretwork's "Art of The Fugue" and I just never could come to grips with it. I like a consort of viols playing late English Renaissance music, but the Bach stuff they do just doesn't appeal to me.

    Fair enough.
    I've not tried their Art of Fugue.
    ... listening now.
    Yup, that works for me. Very lucid portrayal of the part writing, good pacing, lovely instrumental textures - yum!!

    I'm sorry, but I'm having real trouble with adult discourse on an audio forum. Don't you at least have the impulse to insult my intelligence?

    Not to hijack this thread, but here's one of my favorite viol consort albums:

    Gave this a bit more of a chance; it's growing on me. My wallet isn't too happy, but my ears are.

    I was always fussy about instruments matching the period of the music but more recently I've got relaxed about it. There must have been a few people in 18th century Germany still playing their old viols after all so it's an authentic performance of them playing Bach!
