Whalen Center for Music Admission is free and open to the public “Quietly uplifting, the joys in Angela Hewitt’s Bach playing are the result of a steady accumulation of positive virtues: clarity, good taste, impeccable technique and a persona of unassertive elegance.” —Los Angeles Times "Even the most out-and-out purists who blanch at the thought of Bach on so alien an instrument as the piano (as if Bach himself ever showed any reluctance at transcribing his work from one instrument to another!) will find it hard not to be won over by Angela Hewitt's artistry." — Gramophone “Miss Hewitt brought distinct and sometimes daring interpretive convictions to the works at hand. . . . The music’s development was presented not as display but as passionately reasoned discourse.” —New York Times Hewitt's combined precision and firepower can hold their own in any company." — Classic FM Magazine

Listen Live ANGELA HEWITT (piano) appeared on In Tune on 17 January 2001. BIOGRAPHY Angela Hewitt continues to captivate and charm audiences around the world with her musicianship and virtuosity. Since her triumph in the 1985 Toronto International Bach Piano Competition, Miss Hewitt has been hailed as ‘the Bach pianist par excellence of her generation’ (The Sunday Times, London, 1999), and as ‘nothing less than the pianist who will define Bach performance on the piano for years to come’ (Stereophile, 1998). Born into a musical family, the daughter of the Cathedral organist in Ottawa, she began her piano studies at the age of three, and at nine gave her first recital at Toronto’s Royal Conservatory of Music where she studied with Earle Moss and Myrtle Guerrero. She then studied with French pianist Jean-Paul Sévilla at the University of Ottawa where she obtained her Bachelor of Music degree at eighteen. Her repertoire is vast, ranging from Bach to the present day (her Hyperion discography includes a Messiaen recital). She has performed with orchestras in the United States (San Francisco, Baltimore, St Louis, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Oregon and the Minnesota Orchestra), in England (her Proms debut was in 1990), with the Japan Philharmonic, and with every major orchestra in Canada and Australia. In 2001 she will make her debut with The Philadelphia Orchestra. She has devoted entire recitals to the works of Bach, Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Brahms, Fauré and Roussel, and twice performed the complete solo works of Ravel. These appearances have taken her to, among others, New York’s Alice Tully Hall, London’s Wigmore Hall, Washington’s Kennedy Center, the Salle Gaveau in Paris, Tokyo’s Bunka Kaikan, Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall, Sydney Opera House, and throughout mainland China, the former Soviet Union, and New Zealand.

Classical Editor: Rob Barnett Music Webmaster Len Mullenger: Len@musicweb.uk.net J S BACH Italian Concerto; Two Capriccios; Four Duets; French Overture in B minor Angela Hewitt (piano) Hyperion CDA67306 [69 mins] Crotchet Delivered at breakfast time and straight onto the CD player, the Italian Concerto was just the thing to start the day! The Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt Messiaen The Italian Concerto is one of Bach's happiest works, with dancing movements framing a profound Andante . Hewitt finds just the right airy touch and tone, and she can be heard to think the music along; no automatic pilot or interpretation set in concrete. There are occasional little expressive surges, not possible on the harpsichord, but never beyond tasteful boundaries. They sound as if they would differ from performance to performance with the feeling of the moment. The half hour French Overture is a grand affair, its Overture 12 minutes long, with strongly dotted rhythms giving strength and nobility, followed by the usual series of short dance movements, a more substantial and moving Sarabande at their centre. The Duets are later equivalents to the 2-part Inventions, composed

5. Angela Hewitt Joe H Klee reviews angela hewitt's CD The Complete Solo Piano Music of Maurice Ravel fine young Canadianborn pianist. Not to take anything away from Glenn Gould, angela hewitt follows in his footsteps http://kleescds.homestead.com/Hewitt.html

Front Page Intro Klee's CD's by Joe H. Klee The Complete Solo Piano Music of Maurice Ravel Angela Hewitt Hyperion CDA 67341/2 [138:11] If proof were needed that lightning can strike twice in the same place, consider the evidence of this fine young Canadian-born pianist. Not to take anything away from Glenn Gould, Angela Hewitt follows in his footsteps even to centering her recording career around the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Having proven herself in that classic Baroque repertoire, as well as the contemporary music of Olivier Messaien, she now moves to one of the twin titans of the French Impressionist period, Maurice Ravel. The hits are all here in this double CD collection ... Pavanne pour une infanta defunte, Le Tombeau de Couperin, Gaspard de la nuit and Miroirs. So are the less often recorded Serenade grostesque and Prelude. Not since the historic 1951 Columbia recordings by Robert Casadesus have I heard such a comprehensive, and excellently performed, survey of Ravel's music for the solo piano. The recorded sound of the piano, a Hamburg Steinway I would guess, leaves nothing to be desired. The liner notes by Ms. Hewitt are extensive and fascinating and end with her acknowledgement of one of her teachers, Jean-Paul Sevilla. This double CD from Hyperion belongs in the collection of anyone who loves the piano music of Maurice Ravel ... regardless of how many other recordings of this music they already own.

Pianist Angela Hewitt Since winning the 1985 Toronto International Bach Competition in her native Canada, Angela Hewitt has shared her artistry with audiences throughout North America, Europe, Russia, Australia and the Far East. Her orchestral engagements have paired her with many of the world's leading ensembles, including London's Royal Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic, the Minnesota Orchestra, the Japan Philharmonic, and virtually all the major Canadian orchestras. Her discography includes highly praised recordings of Bach for CBC Enterprises, Deutsche Grammophon, and Hyperion, as well as a recital of Spanish piano music for the CBC. In 1994, Hyperion signed her to record all the keyboard music of Bach, a project that will eventually span 14 discs. The first three of the series — devoted to the French Suites, the Inventions, and the Partitas — have won rave reviews both here and abroad. Ms. Hewitt's most recent recording, featuring the solo piano music of Messiaen, will be released in September 1998. Find more Books and Compact Discs of Angela Hewitt. Enter

9. Guardian | Angela Hewitt has to be a good thing when the Canadian pianist angela hewitt begins a recital with Bach first because it reminds us http://www.guardian.co.uk/Print/0%2C3858%2C4425635%2C00.html

Classical Angela Hewitt 4 stars Wigmore Hall, London Erica Jeal Saturday June 1, 2002 The Guardian It has to be a good thing when the Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt begins a recital with Bach: first because it reminds us how good at it she is, and second because the clarity and questing logic of her playing in this repertoire makes us listen out for similar qualities in the rest of her programme. On this occasion that consisted of music by two French keyboard masters, Couperin and Ravel. Ravel wasn't exactly sparing in the amount of notes he wrote, and the three pianistic poems that form his Gaspard de la Nuit brought very different challenges. Hewitt kept the thread of melody unbroken through the shimmering complexity of the first piece, Ondine, and her pinpointed touch was to the fore in Scarbo, with its fiendishly fast repeated notes and an ending that seemed to vanish into the ether. Le Tombeau de Couperin is a little less lush, Ravel evoking his predecessor as a paragon of French musicianship and basing the work's structure on the 18th-century idea of the suite form. Hewitt gave a staccato kick to the Forlane, reminding us that it is a dance movement. But it was her thoughtful playing of the Fugue that was the highlight, the initial theme sounding intriguingly unsure of where it might go next, the lines of melody independent yet tightly intertwined. The Bach that launched the programme was the English Suite No 3. Hewitt may have begun by cascading down the keyboard with a flourish, but there was no self-indulgence to her playing as the mood of the pieces became darker and more striking. Paradoxically, Hewitt managed to combine a sense that the music could take a new direction any moment with a feeling that each corner turned was inevitably right. It is in this music - some of the most abstract and unembellished of her wide repertoire - that she seems most herself.

He did not know which British Audio mag had given her that title...well, I have the answer. In the Sept 2001 issue of "Gramophone" Angela Hewitt with her cheery smile graces the cover. A headline reads "The Bach pianist of our time". Inside, this phrase is qualified somewhat with the explanation that "A.H. has recently been referred to as a "pianist who will define Bach performance on the piano for years to come." Who made this statement is anybody's guess. I would assume a critic is responsible for such a definitive description of Angela's beautiful interpretations of Bach. Unfortunately, I had just turned on the radio when Jurgen made the comments about Angela, and I do not know what track had preceded it. ...I will have to check your logs for that.

I searched your archives 'til I arrived at Sept. 20. So in answer to my own question, A.H. was playing the "Sinfonia in D" from her new album of Bach arrangements. Bach would have probably been intrigued at the rich and dynamic acoustics of the piano, and the temptation of other musicians to rewrite his works to match the possibilities of the newer instrument. I understand, though, that Hewitt resists using the pedal, which I gather would make the playing of these pieces all that more difficult... holding notes by dexterous finger changes rather than relying on the pedal, which tends to wash out the individual notes. : Jurgen mentioned last week (don't recall the day) that Angela : Hewitt had been accorded the venerable distinction of being : the "Bach pianist of our time".

But to borrow an old yet apt cliche, she just might be the best pianist so little known to the public. Fortunately for Denver, the Friends of Chamber Music was well aware of her and wasted no time engaging her as a substitute Wednesday evening at Augustana Lutheran Church for the scheduled performer, John Browning, who recently died. And Hewitt more than repaid their confidence in her, turning in a remarkably thrilling and moving concert, which will assuredly stand as one of the season's most memorable. The heart and soul of the program were the two first-half selections by Johann Sebastian Bach - English Suite No. 2 in A minor, BWV 807, and English Suite No. 4 in F major, BWV 809. There is something incredibly exposed about playing the exceedingly direct yet highly elusive music of Bach. With no frills, no pyrotechnics to hide behind, the pianist is forced to confront it directly and unequivocally. And so Hewitt did.

All of her CDs I've snapped up to date have yet to disappoint, but that's just me and my fanatical bias for certain folks.
