Sixteen years have passed since Angela Hewitt's first, justly celebrated, version of the 'Goldbergs'. She here commits to record her ever-evolving response to a work which contains the 'shadowed lesson of the whole world', and which continues to play a central role in her life as an artist.
"More than any contemporary player, she manages to suggest the harpsichord's plucking mechanism with her brilliant articulation - the trills of Variation 16!...her fluency makes the Goldbergs sound easy." Sunday Times
"The fingers are as formidably on the ball as ever - capable of the most tender translucency, of staccato leaps that 'ping', and able to differentiate and characterise several voices simultaneously with jaw-dropping felicity" BBC Music Five Stars
"A salutary reminder that recordings which one thought couldn't be bettered, actually can - remarkable" International Piano Five Stars
