Pianist Spotlight 18/10/13
Angela Hewitt. A true master on the keyboard.
Angela Hewitt is a Canadian pianist whose works include the majority of Bach's complicated, extensive oeuvre for keyboard. As shown in the clip move, she makes it look oh-so-easy, when it is one helluva thing to play!
Angela Hewitt has recently toured Australia to high critical acclaim, and although I missed out this year, I'm certain to see her recital next time she is here.
Apart from J.S Bach, Hewitt also has recorded other great composers such as Ravel, Schumann, Debussy and other Baroque composers such as Rameau. Her precision and expression ensure that whatever period of music she plays, it always sounds effortless and clean. I'd love to hear her play Scriabin!
