Hi Angela,
I listened you in Gotherborg, it was wonderful, such a polyphony. I love G. Variations very much!. We had a brief chat after the concert - I'm from Barcelona but I went to Gotheborg only to hear you -
Now I read that you are going to play WTC in Oslo. Waw! I will be there, for sure.
You know, in my life I love 2 things very much. One is my girlfriend, and the other is Bach.
See you in Oslo!! (Right now I live in Oslo, if you need anything here let me know)
angela i really felt just to contact you today to say ive been listening to a recording you made of bachs tocatas.
this cd has been my constant companion as i have sought to emerge from a very challenging and painful set of life experiences. its reminded me of how much i love this music and what a gift it is to the world.....and as i listen more and more to the details of your playing i am so incredibly inspired by what you have achieved here.....thank you so much. i am so grateful!!
Love your recordings of Bach. I consider them the foremost definitive recordings. Any chance of recording Antonio Soler's Sonatas? They are negelcted but are amazing and worthy of your talents. Would love to hear you undertake them and study them as comprehensively as you did with Bach.
I greatly enjoyed your concert at Herrison Hall nr Dorchester on Sunday, and meeting you. I am looking forward to the release of your recordings of this music.
It was wonderful to cycle through the lovely Dorset countryside from Dorchester along the river Frome, up the hill stopping to feed a few curious cows. then go to a world class concert, a very uplifting evening, thank you.
GRAZIE per la superba esibizione all'itc capitini... mi ha fatto provare emozioni dimenticate da tempo ascoltando i brani eseguiti da lei in modo meraviglioso.. grazie ancora...
Dear Angela Hewitt,
I so very much enjoyed your all -Schumann recital yesterday evening at the Wigmore Hall. Incidentally,
I was in the same row as the person whose mobile phone jumped into life just before you commenced playing. The person involved was exceedingly apologetic as they tried to get out of the hall - apparently they could not switch the thing off. Anyhow you acted with good grace like the true professional you are.
I recently heard one of your recordings by chance on the radio. The piece was the overture to the Ratswahlkantate in the transcription by Wilhelm Kempff.
I couldn't wait to learn and play it myself and eventually tracked down the music, which so luckily included the other Kempff Bach transcriptions. They really are a joy to play.
Incidentally, you have a fantastic website.
I look forward to hearing your recital in London as part of your Bach world tour series.
Kind regards,
Graham V. Cornwell.
Dear Ms. Hewitt,
My son Robin is nine years old and he participated in the Capital Region's Kiwanis Music Festival for the very first time this year, and he won the James P. Kenney Trophy for best musicianship in Junior Piano (ages 7 to 12). We didn't realize how special the trophy was until we found your name on it as a past winner (years 1968 and 1972) . You must have forgotten all about this as it has been such a long time, but, WOW, what a boost of motivation it is for Robin to know that this very same trophy which had sat on your piano inspiring you in the past is now sitting on his inspiring him!
We're looking forward to seeing you back here in Ottawa in July. Hopefully we could meet you at the backstage after your recital 😉
Cheers,
Li (from Ottawa, Canada).
We would like to thank you for your wonderful permormance of 18th May 2007 at ITC CAPITINI(perugia, ITALY). You played with your heart and we really enjoyed it. Continue like that, good luck!

Gentilissima Signora Hewitt, sono un insegnante della scuola di Perugia dove ho avuto il grande piacere di conoscerla. Si ricorda? sono venuto a salutarla con un piccolo pianista, Francesco, a cui Lei ha scritto una dedica. La volevo ancora ringraziare per il grande regalo che ci ha concesso nel poterla ascoltare al pianoforte e conoscerla personalmente. Spero di poterla incontrare di nuovo in estate al fesstival di Magione e di poterle persentare mia figlia, Viola, che studia pianoforte al Conservatorio di Musica di Perugia. tutti gli studenti di musica, e non solo, dovrebbero conoscere una persona come Lei. Grazie di nuovo, a presto. Gildo Cartoni
dear ms hewitt,
you are a mervellous pianist.
I was at your concert at itc capitini compliments
