J.S. Bach The Art of the Fugue (Die Kunst der Fugue) Les Voix humaines Consort Margaret Little, Susie Napper, Mélisande Corriveau, Felix Deak ACD2 2645 • Johann Sebastian Bach's The Art of Fugue (Die Kunst der Fuge), one of the peaks of the Baroque contrapuntal style, also turns out to be one of the most enigmatic works in the history of music. Though composed as a series of fugues on the same subject, Bach did not specify the instruments that should play them.   Les Voix humaines viol consort has recorded its own version of Bach's unfinished final work. • Since 2001, some of Montreal's finest gambists have regularly joined the viol duo Les Voix humaines to form the Voix Humaines Consort, which specializes in the vast 17th-century repertoire for viol consort.   The regular quartet consists of Margaret Little, Mélisande Corriveau, Felix Deak and Susie Napper.   1.
