Art of Fugue on SACD

This same music can be played on many different instruments. There is an organ version on Red Rose Music. These fugues are well suited to organ and this is a good one.
ASMF has a version out where each fugue is played on a different combination of instruments. Nice sounding and possibly the variation is useful in holding the listener's interest, but I find this a little distracting for some reason.
On Channel Classics, there is a version on saxophones. This seems very weird, but you read the notes and they make some sense, these types of saxophones are all designed to have a family sound. Actually this is a very nice way to hear these- but it's not quite complete, at least 2 fugues missing. Almost an organ sound, the lines are very well defined.
Haven't heard this one by Savall.
