About This Song
About "The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 - Edition prepared by Sir Neville Marriner & Andrew Davis : J.S. Bach: The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 - Edition prepared by Sir Neville Marriner & Andrew Davis: Contrapunctus 2" by Celia Nicklin
A single oboe line threads through Bach’s contrapuntal labyrinth, each phrase a stone dropped into still water. The tension lies between rigid fugal architecture and the breathing, human rubato—order vs. expressive freedom. Celia Nicklin’s tone is lucid, almost architectural, yet never cold.
