Angela Hewitt (piano) Ten years ago Angela Hewitt recorded a\nversion of The Well-Tempered Clavier Book I which dazzled the\ncritical world and record-buying public. It was followed shortly\nafterwards by Book II which was similarly received. Now, fresh from\nher Bach World Tour—in which she performed the complete\nWell-Tempered Clavier from August 2007 until the end of October\n2008 in 58 cities in 21 countries on six continents—Angela has made\nan entirely new recording of this most iconic of keyboard works. In\na revealing and personal programme note, Angela explains her\nreasons, both artistic and emotional, for this momentous creative\ndecision. She speaks of the ‘new-found freedom’ that she discovered\nin her later performances, and especially her use of Fazioli\npianos, ‘whose luminous, powerful, and also ever so delicate sounds\nopened new worlds to me and allowed my imagination to take flight’.\nThis is an unmissable new release.
