      "Imagine you've got a person, who's like a bassoon..." So begins the Bristol Proms concert from Sinfonia Cymru, as they reimagine music from Bach's Art of Fugue. Photo: Andy Squire

      Experimenting with Bach may be frowned upon, director Tom Morris explained at the beginning of the concert, but the original music still remains as it was once the concert is over. And we will have learned something by experimenting. At least, that's the theory. Photo: Andy Squire

      There's nothing quite like ripping Bach apart - before building it back up again. The audience get the chance to listen to the individual parts and explore the personality within the music. Photo: Andy Squire
