About "Bach: The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080: Contrapunctus IX" by Cameron Carpenter
Bach's Contrapunctus IX, played by Cameron Carpenter, is a fugue that stalks itself. The voices chase in tight, relentless circles, each entry a new shadow. It's intellectual rigor as thrill ride—order pushed to the brink of vertigo, calm only in its perfect logic.
