Bach: Fantasia And Fugue, Aria Variata / Hewitt

This disc 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.
