Notes & Reviews:

Angela Hewitt's acclaimed recordings of Bach on the piano have received the highest critical acclaim and found their way into thousands of homes, selling over nearly 400,000 copies since her recording of the 'Inventions' burst onto the scene in 1994. Now for the first time, Angela's complete solo Bach is available as a boxed set of sixteen CDs at a special price. It will make a perfect gift for the few music-lovers left in the world that have not experienced these matchless performances, and for those who have, a chance to fall in love all over again.

"The pianist who will define Bach performance for years to come." -Fanfare

Two and Three Part Inventions, Four Duets, English Suites, French Suites, Suite in F Minor, Six Partitas, French Overture, Well-Tempered Clavier (2008 recording), Partia in A Major, Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue, The Toccatas, Fantasia in C Minor, Italian Concerto, Goldberg Variations and more. Angela Hewitt (piano)

The long-awaited boxed set celebrating Angela Hewitt's monumental achievement in recorded Bach for piano. This 15CD set features her complete Bach recordings including The Well-Tempered Clavier (2008 recording - 4CDs), Goldberg Variations, Partitas and the Keyboard Concertos featuring The Australian Chamber Orchestra over 2 CDs. 'Hewitt remains today's finest exponent of Bach's keyboard music' (Gramophone), her recordings having sold over 400,000 copies worldwide. The set is also accompanied by a 16th disc of a +77 minute sampler of her non Bach works as a bonus.

"This is a magnificent retrospective of Angela Hewitt's achievement as a pianist in the keyboard works of J.S. Bach... the completion and bringing together of this remarkable set of recordings marks something of a milestone for everyone involved with classical music, as well as for Hyperion... As far as value for money goes, Angela Hewitt's hunky Bach box slashes the price of all of the titles included by about half what they cost individually, so there has never been a better time to invest." -MusicWeb-International
