Described by The Guardian as “the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time”, the Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt has consistently won golden opinions for her recordings and performances of Bach’s keyboard music. In this delectable programme she plays a mercurial Toccata, the complete set of 15 Three-Part Inventions, one of the six dance suites with extended overtures in what Bach considered the English style, a pair of transcriptions of organ chorale preludes, and as a thrilling conclusion the virtuoso Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue.
