Hungary’s prize-winning Keller Quartet, whose account of mentor György Kurtág’s Musik für Streichinstrumente received the highest praise internationally, now focuses upon baroque music with a revelatory performance of Bach’s The Art of Fugue "The Keller Quartet take an experimental approach to Bach", writes Hans Klaus Jungheinrich, "inclining less to long lines than to ‘respiratory’ phrasing." The music breathes, yes, and the Keller Quartet’s interpretation of Die Kunst der Fuge will be one of the most talked-about Bach performances of the year.
