About

Hyperion’s Record of the Month for July sees Angela Hewitt rounding off her acclaimed series of solo Bach recordings with this delightful miscellany. A range of genres are represented – fantasia and fugues, chorale preludes, suites, a sonata, a set of variations – from different periods of Bach’s life, and displaying a wide variety of form, style, influence and scope. This is music that has been neglected largely because it doesn’t sit within the famous Bach canons rather than because of its intrinsic quality. Angela Hewitt brings her customary style and elegance to these works, and her vivid, joyous music-making creates a fitting conclusion to this benchmark modern survey of Bach’s keyboard works

Awards and reviews

September 2004

As Angela Hewitt's Hyperion Bach cycle concludes, her ability to voice and control the composer's counterpoint reaches sharper, more finely calibrated proportions than ever. Her astonishing dispatch of the rapid repeated notes in the finale of the D major Sonata, her bouncy, characterful articulation in the BWV 832 Suite in A, and the feathery fingerwork in the BWV 944 Fugue take great Bach playing and great pianism to joyous heights...
