The hallmarks of Hewitt’s artistry are in evidence: fingerwork of nimble grace and steely strength; clarity of line; understated pedalling. These are considered readings that bring out the detail of Beethoven’s writing, captured in clear sound by Hyperion.

Now that Angela Hewitt has concluded her Beethoven sonata cycle with two of its ‘biggest guns’, it appears that she has also saved her best for last, interpretatively speaking.
3rd February 2022
She brings all her textural clarity to the fugal sections of the Hammerklavier, with no lack of weight in its great climaxes, even if the slow movement seems rather episodic at times, while Op 111 moves through its numinous final variations with total assurance.
