Our Take

Well, well, well, what do we have here? The legendary Angela Hewitt tackling Bach's "Art of Fugue." Talk about a match made in heaven - or should I say, a match made in Baroque heaven! Hewitt's delicate touch and impeccable precision shine through in every note on this album.

From the intricate counterpoint to the soaring melodies, Hewitt's interpretation of Bach's masterpiece is nothing short of extraordinary. She navigates the intricate web of voices with finesse, allowing each voice to shine while maintaining a cohesive whole. It's like watching a master juggler effortlessly keep multiple balls in the air - except in this case, the balls are musical voices and the juggler is Angela Hewitt.

The clarity and transparency of Hewitt's playing on this album is truly a marvel to behold. Each voice is crystal clear, allowing the listener to fully appreciate the beauty and complexity of Bach's composition. It's like a musical game of connect the dots, with Hewitt guiding us through each intricate line with ease and grace.

Overall, Angela Hewitt's "Art of Fugue" is a triumph. It's a masterclass in Baroque performance, showcasing Hewitt's unparalleled skill and artistry. So sit back, relax, and let Hewitt's magic fingers take you on a musical journey through the world of Bach. Trust me, you won't regret it.
