Bach/ Mozart, Fugues from “The Well-Tempered Clavier”, Part II, No. 5,7,8 and 9 K: 405/2-5 (Version for String Quartet) (Mozartwoche 2001)

The Artis Quartet was founded at the Vienna Musikhochschule in 1980. The ensemble studied in Vienna and Cincinnati with the LaSalle Quartet. After many awards at the beginning of the 1980s, the group began its international career, which has taken it to the major musical venues of the world. The Artis Quartet has been giving its own concert series at the Vienna Musikverein since 1988. This work was recorded at the Salzburg "Mozartwoche" 2001. The ensemble chose some rarely heard works by Mozart for its program, including these four four-part fugues by Bach in arrangements by Mozart (K. 405).
