Pianist Angela Hewitt is regarded as an expert on the music of JS Bach, particularly after embarking on an eleven-year project to record all his major keyboard works. For the first time in Australia, Angela will perform perhaps Bach’s most remarkable music: The Art of Fugue. Angela’s also chosen some smaller golden musical filigree to show off Bach’s gems to best advantage, including late sonatas by Beethoven.
“I know of no musician whose Bach playing on any instrument is of greater subtlety, beauty of tone, persuasiveness of judgement or instrumental command than Hewitt's is here”
