Angela Hewitt - Bach: Fantasia, Aria & other works

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.
