Bach - WTC II (Angela Hewitt) - Prelude & Fugue No. 14 in F-Sharp Minor BWV 883

[BrantFortunate]

F# minor, most rock and roll key of all time \m/

[Erikk91]

sublime..

[lepetsu1]

She's amazing...!

[yahazim]

How can you slow down on that Prelude? It's intoxication kind of moves itself...

[animalfarm1984au]

Angela Hewitt makes Bach a god.

[TheLivingHeiromartyr]

Slooooww down on the prelude!

[lcoz145]

I am currently working on this piece and it is an absolutely joy to learn. I love it!! =)

[platmosic]

Well Hewitt is the only one who uses so much trills in the fugue, and have ultilised powerfully.

[saturne46]

Merveilleuse et extraordinaire sensibilité ! Quel bonheur de vous écouter (et de vous regarder). Merci Madame Hewitt (et SoliDeoGloria8550).

[TwelfthRoot2]

Of all of the fugues I've heard from Bach, this one is my favorite

[TwelfthRoot2]

Something about Bach always keeps me coming back haha. Chopin is my absolute favorite, but I think Bach is now my second. His counterpoint is fun to listen to. His music just sounds so playful :-)

Great work Ang!

[Chopianist3]

Haha I like your name! 12 root of 2 is mathematically equivocal to 1 semitone in frequency, very nice :) Also I completely agree about Chopin and Bach however I think Alkan would definately come up somewhere around there too for me! :)

[TwelfthRoot2]

That is correct! I don't think many people catch on to that. I'll need to check out Alkan then! Thanks.

i want to hear her playing the liszt's don juan......

[beethomozart]

a wonderful version of Bach's WTC, this pianist knows how to enter magically and intense at the same time in Johann Sebastian's world

Angela Hewitt plays Bach with the presence, softness and with great musicality. I have not heard about her until recently.

I do not think it is right to compare the Hewitt with Gould, Parahia or other major pianists. It is the question of taste and temperament. I definitely listen more to Hewitt in the future.

[Irelandlass7789]

I like her prelude better than Gould's version. It's more fluid and graceful.

[igorpdx]

Irelandlass7789- you might say "in my opinion, hers is more fluid and graceful." To which I would say, "which Gould recording?" Because Gould never played a composition the same way twice. He was forever innovating and searching for a more "perfect" one.

I hate it when people compare the work of great artists because each one is so very different. I would also hate to be stuck listening to one version or one artist for the rest of my life. Each has their own merit. Vive la difference.

[tr23shortstop]

I saw her play a couple weeks ago, she was amazing :-)

[dmcII]
