  • So I think as Glenn Gould he lost his mind or something. I like this performance more than the one Gould humms along to.

  • The Prelude is exquisitely presented, and I love what she does with it - it's just perfect.

    The Fugue is another matter. I absolutely hate it when a pianist (or for that matter, any musician) feels a need to rush hectically what they are presenting but unfortunately that is a trend that is with us today. That Fugue has far more to offer and would be heard clearly if only a pianist (or harpsichordist or whatever) would present it in a more relaxed manner, allowing us to savor its qualites.

    It's not her interrupting herself It's the result of the edit.

  • all these videos are great! crystal clear interpretation... but why does she keep interrupting herself during her opening comments?

  • I love Angela Hewitt's JS Bach interpretations. They take JS Bach out of the realm of mechanincal emotionless music and plant them firmly back in the category of music that you can love. After listening to Hewitt play Bach, I find it very difficult to listen to certain other pianists whose interpretations are little more than playing the paino as though it were a harpsichord.

    Bach would have rejoiced if he'd had a Bosendorfer, Bechstein, Steinway, Faziolli, etc.

  • YEah! Ottawa represent!

  • slow

  • beautiful

  • My favourite Fugue of Bach :) BWV 888 A-Major

    Really good played!
