Dear Ms. Hewitt,
After repeated listenings of your baroque recordings (which I do daily) - your playing continues to inspire me to perfect my own playing - especially Bach. For that alone, I am deeply appreciative.
Being my favourite pianist (and not just because I too am from Ottawa:) - it also gives be great pleasure to continue to enlarge my already extensive Hewitt CD collection. I would also highly recommend to all pianists and music lovers your DVD Bach lecture-recital - extremely informative and insightful on all aspects of baroque keyboard performance and correct interpretive stye.
In closing Ms. Hewitt, I very much look forward to your forthcoming Ottawa concerts - and to thank you for the continued joy you bring to your audiences. I also wish you good health (I was just recently made aware of your sugery).
Very best regards from Ottawa,
Luc
Angela,
Concerning your Ryanair horror story, I have never used Ryanair on principle because they are a joke as an organisation. It amazes me why,when they use all the tricks of the trade to humiliate their customers, that they still attract custom. Hopefully some will take note of your own experience.
So pleased to know that you are recovering and again on the concert platform.
Graham V. Cornwell.

Wishing you the best of health! We are all looking forward to many more decades of your concerts and recordings!
Wishing you well on your return to the stage tonight! So glad you have recovered so quickly!
Best wishes to you for a speedy recovery, dear Ms. Hewitt
Dear Mrs. Hewitt,
Yesterday after the concert in Calgary I talked to you trying to express my deep appreciation from one musician to another for your playing of Bach. I am afraid I came across rather clumsily. I want to take the opportunity here to thank you again for coming to Calgary and giving such an immensly pleasurable musical gift to us here in "cowtown" Please come again!
Dear Angela,
Is it true that you're going to record the Bach flute sonatas for Hyperion?
I hope so, and the violin ones too please! There are enough recordings of these works with a harpsichord, so I hope you'll put them on disc so we can hear more of your wonderful playing of Bach on the piano. I'm saving up for your box set of the complete solo works - that will be a real treat!
Best wishes,
David Arkell.
Angela your concert in Milan was amasing!! Also I was in the first rows but i didn' lose one single note!! Thank you. Hope I could hear you again early.

Enchanted to enjoy your Mozart at piano driving the car and listening radio 3. Very happy to know that you stay very close to my Relais Parco Fiorito in Tuoro sul Trasimeno. I hope to meet you soon. My Wellness Center is honoured to have your presence.
Compliments for your great performances!
I don't know to what to be most excited:
1/I got a personal reply from Angela Hewitt, when my long-shot expectation was merely an autographed picture;
2/You are a doing a Debussy recording--I thought I had every one worth having;
3/In February I have the opportunity to see both you and Bruce Hornsby (along with Keith Jarrett and Maurizio Pollini, my favorite pianists);
4/That someone of your prominence is such a nice person.
If I could hear you play Schubert's 21st PS, my amazement would be finally utter and complete.
best,
Jon
