Hewitt or Gould (2004-09-29)

Angela Hewitt is often compared to Glenn Gould, her fellow Canadian pianist, because she also plays Bach. I won't compare them. When I listen to Gould I marvel at his genius. When I listen to Hewitt, I marvel at Bach's genius.

Sensitive, Lively Performances (2004-01-16)

The works included on these 2 disks are among Bach's most accessible keyboard works and are also among the easiest for the amateur to get a grip on.

Angela Hewitt performances are sensitive and full of life. Having listened to many Bach interpreters on the piano, I keep coming back to Angela.

I also enthusiustically recommend her perfomances of the partitas.

Dazzling (2002-05-28)

Angela Hewitt plays Bach's French Suites with complete mastery. There is no other interpretation that combines the delicate with the profound moods of Bach in the same way. Her recordings will outlast all others.

excellent, idiomatic performances (2002-03-24)

Like her countryman Glenn Gould, Hewitt has built her reputation largely on the basis of her recordings of Bach's major keyboard works. While Hewitt remains free of most of the quirks and twitches that-- depending on your perspective-- adorn or cloud Gould's performances, her interpretations are no less distinctive, and distinguished. Some features of this issue to take note of: Hewitt includes several movments that are absent from most editions or performances of the French Suites, including addition dances and, in the fourth E-flat suite, a prelude that seems to be an earlier version of the C-sharp prelude from the second book of the WTC. The fillers are both familiar and new-- the well-known sets of little preludes for W. F. Bach (an indispensable companion to, if not quite a replacement for, Gould's memorable version), and two pieces perhaps better known in other versions: the a-minor sonata for violin unaccompanied, in a setting for keyboard; and the a-minor Prelude and Fugue that is perhaps better known in Bach's own adaptation as the Triple Concerto for violin, flute and keyboard, BWV 1044. A satisfying issue all-round, and remarkable both for the elegance of its playing and for its excellent programme.
