'Hewitt remains today's finest exponent of Bach's keyboard music' (Gramophone), her recordings having sold over 400,000 copies worldwide. The set is also accompanied by a 16th disc of a +77 minute sampler of her non Bach works as a bonus.
Recorded and released in the anniversary year of both Handel and Haydn, Hyperion presents an effusive celebration of the two composers, performed by Hewitt whose renditions of 17th- and 18th-century keyboard works on the piano have received the highest possible acclaim.
The phenomenal Angela Hewitt embarks upon another Hyperion journey, this time through the piano concertos of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The twenty- seven concertos for piano and orchestra contain some of the composer s greatest achievements. Concertos Nos. 6 and 8, two of the young Mozart s earliest attempts at the genre, display a perfection of form and an elegant purity. Concerto No. 9, the Jeunehomme, written in 1777 when Mozart was 21, is considered to be the composer s first great masterpiece. The result of this creative outburst was a monument of musical originality and inventive orchestration. In these interpretations, Hewitt displays her characteristic elegance and innate musicality. She is supported by the impeccably refined playing of the Orchestra da Camera di Mantova and the disc includes a personal and illuminating sleeve note by the pianist.
