Angela Hewitt is one of the leading Bach interpreters of our time. Her subtle, transparent, extremely vocal and at the same time rhythmic playing of the works of the baroque genius on the modern concert grand piano has set new standards. A ‘Bach World Tour’ took her to 26 countries on six continents with the ‘Well-Tempered Clavier’ in 2007/08. This was followed in 2016-22 by a ‘Bach Odyssey’, during which she delighted audiences in London, New York, Ottawa and Tokyo with twelve recitals each of the complete piano works of the Thomaskantor. Angela Hewitt comes to Heidelberg with a kind of ‘Best of Bach’, including the young composer’s virtuoso D major Toccata, his fascinating Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue and his famous ‘Italian Concerto’.
