Bach - Fugue in C major BWV 952 - Hantaï | Netherlands Bach Society

This Fugue in C major BWV 952, performed by Pierre Hantaï for All of Bach, is not part of Bach’s great keyboard cycles. It disappeared from sight, along with many other ‘separate fugues’. And yet this lively piece with tastefully harmonic twists and turns would not look out of place in the Wohltemperirte Clavier. While Bach did include other ‘separate’ fugues in the series later on, this one got away. Recorded for the project All of Bach on 16th September 2016 at Chevreuse, France.
