Angela Hewitt, in her notes to this CD, says Bach’s The Art of Fugue challenged her much more than Bach’s Goldberg Variations and other works. In the short video clip below, Hewitt talks about her decision to record this late work of Bach. I have several recordings of The Art of Fugue, but Angela Hewitt’s new CD is on heavy rotation at the Kelley house. If you haven’t had a chance to listen to this moving music, here’s your chance! GRADE: A
Phil’s favorite!
Patti, Bach or Angela Hewitt?
I have a couple recording of it, sufficient for my needs. A great piece of music.
Riick, I’m an Angela Hewitt fan so THE ART OF FUGUE was a must-buy for me.
Nice to know that some genius is truly eternal (whether you beleive in the hereafter or not) – great clip too, thanks George.
Sergio, I’m a big fan of Bach and Angela Hewitt. Heavenly music, indeed!
