Passacaglia and Fugue on B.A.C.H.

Description

Using one of the oldest of musical forms, Alun Hoddinott has taken a fresh look at the passacaglia and fugue and given them his own personal touch. This can be seen in the neo-classical transparency of texture and constantly changing rhythms and harmonies that create the infectious vitality of the work. Particularly attractive is the inter-weaving of parts in the spritely, dance-like fugue.
