Hyperion’s Record of the Month for July 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.

Angela Hewitt brings her customary style and elegance to these works, and her
vivid, joyous music-making creates a fitting conclusion to this benchmark modern
survey of Bach’s keyboard works.

All of the music on this album is also available as part of the specially priced
box set Angela Hewitt plays Bach: 'A magnificent retrospective of Angela
Hewitt’s achievement as a pianist in the keyboard works of J S Bach
… this remarkable set of recordings marks something of a milestone for
everyone involved with classical music, as well as for Hyperion' (MusicWeb
International).
