		Angela Hewitt shares with her distinguished predecessor who specialised in Bach on the piano, Glenn Gould, a complete dedication to her cause.
		Angela Hewitt is as convincing in Bach as she is in Messiaen.
		If Hewitt confirmed she was, after all, human by the smallest of losses of clarity in the Allemande, this movement nevertheless held remarkable inevitability and calm.

		Hewitt's playing is both equisitely delicate but completely commanding at the same time and blends wonderfully with the feathery tones of the two flute soloists and Richard Tognetti's silky-smooth violin interludes.
		Hewitt completes her decade-long Bach traversal with a grand crescendo and now moves on to new projects - which includes the third volume of Couperin's clavier pieces, works from Chabrier and three of Beethoven's piano sonatas.

	Angela Hewitt, Wigmore Hall, London \| Classical and opera \| Guardian Unlimited Music
		Angela Hewitt's reputation as a pianist has been built largely, though not exclusively, on music written before the modern piano.
		Hewitt began with the seven-movement Suite in A from Rameau's Nouvelles Suites de Pièces de Clavecin and what was immediately striking was the flurry of ornaments and decorations - a trill or turn seemed to come on every second note.
		Yet she managed to ensure these did not get in the way of the melodic lines, and by the time she was beaming her way into the light, elegant fifth movement, Fanfarinette, the ornaments had become so much a part of the music's flow you barely noticed they were there.

	Couperin, Mendelssohn, Faure and Schumann, Angela, Hewitt (pno) Wigmore Hall 26th October 2004 (CC) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Hewitt evoked quasi-organ sonorities in the E minor’s stormy Prelude before progressing to a languorous Fugue.
		Hewitt managed somehow to combine integrity of conception with alertness to the quirky side of Schumann’s persona so that unsettling juxtapositions were presented without any attempt to gloss over the gap.
		Hewitt called forth the warmest tone of the recital for the interior third movement (‘Einfach und zart’) before presenting a finale of the utmost intensity.

		Hewitt's decision to include the piece in her latest recital inevitably raised questions as to how she would tackle it.
		Against that must be set Hewitt's exactitude in laying bare the sonata's structural logic, and her location of its emotional kernel in its moments of stasis and reflection rather than in bravura drama.
		The Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D Minor was wonderfully done, with the ricocheting phrases of the Fantasia contrasting beautifully with the meditative calm of the fugue.

	BACH The Inventions. Fantasia in C minor. Chromatic Fantasia. Hewitt (Hyperion) - INKPOT
		Angela Hewitt really needs no introduction in terms of the Bach repertoire, and she displays all the capabilities of a skilled Bach exponent.
		As a Bach exponent Hewitt possesses lissome and flexible fingers and this is seen in her clear legato phrasing which is unique and often quite original.
		Even Hewitt's staccatos vary in detachment and we get a glimpse of the different kinds of articulation that makes Bach's music a must for his students.

		Such, however, was the case here, when the Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt graced the platform before a packed audience at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall on 5 November 2003.
		Hewitt's peerless technique and sharp intellect and wit ensured that the case she made would be a highly enjoyable experience in the making, and so it was, with every ornament and roulade finely turned within an appropriately reined-in dynamic range.
		Hewitt, now allowed the full range of pianistic colour, seized the opportunity gratefully, and thrilled us as much with her complete empathy with Ravel's refined sound-world as much as with her transcendental technique.

		Hewitt's Bach recordings that convey an improvisatory character at appropriate points, but she never engages in either flights of fancy or eccentricities that seem to crop up with performers consumed with the pursuit of ur-Bach.

	SACD Review: Angela Hewitt - ‘Chabrier: Dix pièces pittoresques and Other Piano Music’
		Hewitt’s expertise in sorting the textures of baroque music and avoiding the potential blurring effects to be had from using too much sustaining pedal obviously stand her in an ideal position to perform this music.
		Hewitt’s skill at poising the delicately stippled staccato accompaniment against the legato theme is something to behold.
		Hewitt fearlessly jumps into the brew and shapes it enough to keep it coherent, without ever trying to smooth over Chabrier’s bristly asides.

		Taking time off from her definitive series of J S Bach recordings, Angela Hewitt here brings us the complete solo piano music of Ravel, and anyone who wondered whether this seemingly dyed-in-the wool Bachian might stumble, should rest assured: this is an absolutely stunning double disc.
		As Hewitt makes clear in her characteristically illuminating sleeve notes, Stravinsky's jibe that Ravel was "only a Swiss clock-maker" was hopelessly wide of the mark.
		With either composer in mind, Angela Hewitt is known for delving deep into a composer's life and music to emerge with the purest, most representative essence of each work.

		Hewitt's playing was a match, crisp and never stooping into sentimentality.
		On the other hand, she added subtle touches to the phrasing, including tasteful bits of rubato to the slow movement and to Mozart's demanding cadenzas, which she played as perfectly as I can imagine.
