Phantasm - J.S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Consort – III - Europadisc
The outstanding Bach release of recent months, however, has to be the third and final volume of viol consort Phantasm’s ‘The Well-Tempered Consort’ series on Linn. Combining arrangements of movements from The Well-Tempered Clavier and the mighty collection of chorale-based organ works from Clavierübung III, as well as the imposing central section of the Fantasia in G major, BWV 572, this is performed with such a combination of intelligence and engagement that it must count as the best of a series that has already earned many critical accolades.
