The label is Channel Classics and the catalog number is # 12698.  I agree
with Peter that the performance is interesting and lovely.  There is often
a haunting quality which recorders are very good at delivering.

I wouldn't recommend the ALSQ as one's only version of the Art of Fugue,
but I'm very glad to have it for those times when I want the AoF but don't
want the heaviness of Moroney, Gilbert, and a few others.
