Angela Hewitt is a phenomenal artist who has established herself at the highest level over the last few years not least through her superb, award-winning recordings for Hyperion. Completed in 2005, her eleven-year project to record all the major keyboard works of Bach has been described as 'one of the record glories of our age' and has won her a huge following. She has been hailed as 'the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time' and 'nothing less than the pianist who will define Bach performance on the piano for years to come' (Stereophile). Now for the first time she appears on a 2-DVD set. In the first disc, she conducts a 'masterclass', discussing all the challenges, possible pitfalls and delights in performing Bach on the piano. The second disc features Hewitt live in concert. This is an unmissable release.
