Background: Ten years ago Angela Hewitt recorded a version of The Well-Tempered Clavier which dazzled the critical world and record-buying public. Now, fresh from her Bach World Tour in which she performed the complete Well-Tempered Clavier in 58 cities in 21 countries on six continents she has made an entirely new recording of this most iconic of keyboard works.

In a revealing and personal programme note, Angela explains her reasons, both artistic and emotional, for this momentous creative decision. She speaks of the ‘new-found freedom’ that she discovered in her later performances, and especially her use of Fazioli pianos, ‘whose luminous, powerful, and also ever so delicate sounds opened new worlds to me and allowed my imagination to take flight’.
