August 2007 sees the start of Angela Hewitt's Bach World Tour in which she will bring her celebrated performances of The Well-Tempered Clavier to twenty-five countries on six continents. This tour will celebrate the wonderful voyage she began in 1994 when she undertook to record all of Bach's major keyboard works for Hyperion Records - a project that took eleven years to complete. Concurrently, Hyperion are releasing a limited edition box set of Hewitt's iconic recordings of »The 48« - held by many critics to be the definitive piano version of Bach's incomparable masterpiece.

»Hewitt has set a new benchmark. Her touch is admirably clear and light ... and she is uniquely attuned to Bach's supple, sprightly rhyhms. A ›48« of exceptional grace and beauty. I know of no musician whose Bach playing on any instrument is of greater subtlety, beauty of tone, persuasiveness of judgement or instrumental command than Hewitt's is here‹ (BBC Music Magazine) »Winner of numerous prizes, these have already become benchmark recordings, with performances of character and conviction that marry the best of old and new, using the full-range of colour afforded by a grand piano while articulating ornaments and counterpoint with astounding clarity. First-rate also are her programme notes, which are personal, informative and utterly unpretentious« (International Record Review) »Among modern-day piano recordings of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier, Angela Hewitt's has long held a favored place for its stylish perception, controlled virtuosity, intelligent application of dynamics, and warm, beautifully balanced sonics … If you missed Hewitt's ›48‹ the first time around, don't look this gift horse in the mouth« (Classicstoday. com) (Quelle: www.jpc.de)
