Dear Angela,
I remember like yesterday I bought your Bach recording that was published by DGG.
Afterwards there was the Welltempered Klavier from Hyperion and then I felt blessed with each new installment that appeared in the Bach series.
That you made a new recording of the Welltempered Klavier made me a little bit suspicious at first but after hearing it I was overwhelmed.
I loved the subtle new freedom in tempo and those almost unnoticeable changes of "tempo within the tempo" without disrupting or distorting the always present flow in Bach. For me it greatly enhances the feeling for structure and has a very strong emotional impact.
To have the potential to play the way you do is a gift.
But I am filled with awe and feel an enormous respect when I consider the discipline and hard work this must take as well.
I just bought the CD with the flute sonatas with Mr. Andrea Oliva and now I can't wait to hear you playing the violin sonatas (BWV 1014-1019) as soon as you can find a violinist to your liking.
Thank you very much for making the lives of so many people so much richer.
Kind regards,
Inigo van Beurden
