Angela Hewitt _piano

‘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 [Angela] Hewitt’s is here,’ notes BBC Music Magazine. The Canadian pianist’s artistry rests upon decades of thought and a rare feeling for the embodied nature of making music. She opens this evening’s unmissable programme with typically poetic readings of four Scarlatti sonatas and follows JS Bach’s life-affirming D major Partita with a compelling post-interval exploration of Chopin masterworks.
