Fitzwilliam Quartet give revelatory performance of Bruckner's String Quintet at Nottingham University

Ken Ward, 10th November

Bach’s Die Kunst der Fuge consists of 15 fugues (the last unfinished) and 4 canons, with no instrumentation specified - hence the subject of much discussion and controversy. The Fitzwilliam Quartet chose to play three of the fugues, beginning with the ‘simplest’, where the theme of the 14 completed fugues is presented.
