The Bach Recordings

For the first time ever, Angela Hewitt’s complete recordings of the Bach keyboard works on Hyperion are presented in one collection of 27 CDs. This covers nearly 25 years of Angela’s Bach recordings on Hyperion, from 1994 to 2018.  

Angela’s Bach Odyssey started in 1994 when Ted Perry, founder and then-director of Hyperion, first heard her in a recording of the Bach Inventions. Angela recounts what happened next: ‘I’ll take it!’ said Ted Perry over the telephone. ‘But you haven’t heard it yet!’ I exclaimed. ‘I don’t need to—I know it will be good’, was his reply. ‘But only if you agree to record the complete Bach.’

The booklet offers comprehensive indexing by BWV number for supreme ease of search.

Featured are both of Hewitt’s recordings of the Goldberg Variations (1999 and 2015), The well-tempered Clavier(1997/8 & 2008) and the six Partitas (1996/7 & 2018).

Also included are Bach arrangements unique to UMG, and the complete Bach Keyboard Concertos with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Richard Tognetti.
