About the
Pianist
One of the
world’s leading pianists, Angela Hewitt appears in recital and
as soloist with major orchestras throughout Europe, the Americas,
Australia, and Asia. Her interpretations of the music of J.S. Bach
have established her as one of the composer’s foremost interpreters
of our time.
Angela’s
award-winning cycle for Hyperion Records of all the major keyboard
works of Bach has been described as “one of the record glories of our
age” (The Sunday Times). Begun in 1994, it culminated with her
much-awaited recording of Bach’s Art of Fugue in 2014 which
immediately hit the charts in the UK and USA. Her extensive
discography also includes solo recordings of Scarlatti, Handel,
Couperin, Rameau, Scarlatti, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin,
Schumann, Liszt, Fauré, Debussy, Chabrier, Ravel, Granados and
Messiaen. She has won four Juno Awards, including one for her album
of Mozart Concertos with Canada’s National Arts Centre Orchestra.
Other concerto recordings include the complete Bach Concertos with
the Australian Chamber Orchestra; the works for piano and orchestra
of Schumann with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin; and
Messiaen’s mammoth Turangalila Symphony with the Finnish Radio
Symphony Orchestra. In 2015, Angela was inducted into Gramophone
Magazine’s “Hall of Fame”, reflecting her popularity with music
lovers around the world. Recent releases include her second recording
of Bach’s Six Partitas, made over twenty years after the first, and
the penultimate CD in her complete cycle of Beethoven Sonatas
