Bach: The Art of Fugue

For almost 30 years, former pianist Stephen Paulello has been building exceptional pianos, delighting numerous musicians in the process. Pianist Maria Perrotta discovered a grand piano by piano maker Stephen Paulello and says: “This recording is the result of my encounter with the Stephen Paulello Opus 102. From the very first notes, I was captivated by the sound of this piano. I had the wonderful feeling that I could shape the sound, immerse myself in it, and discover its entire fullness—so that its beauty and depth gradually unfolded beneath my fingers. With its sound that is at once full, transparent, and warm, the Stephen Paulello Opus 102 appeared to me as the ideal instrument to express the essence of J. S. Bach’s The Art of Fugue.”
