J. S. Bach - Well-Tempered Clavier 2 : Prelude f#minor



自从Angela Hewitt在加拿大国际巴赫钢琴大赛中获胜,她就被认为是巴赫音乐的权威钢琴家。Angela Hewitt从三岁开始学习钢琴,九岁在多伦多皇家音乐会堂首次登台演奏。同时她也学习小提琴、直笛、声乐以及古典芭蕾,但是对钢琴的狂热兴趣使她最终选择了这项乐器。在这近二十年里,Angela Hewitt在世界各地拥有无数乐迷,并享有极高的声誉。她的乐思精致细腻,技巧在各个曲目皆游刃有余,极受乐评激赏。无疑地,她是巴赫的专家,但她同时也专精于拉威尔及梅西安音乐里那有力的旋律。短短数年内,她在Hyperin录制了巴赫几乎所有的钢琴作品。(转)




Angela Hewitt
, OC, OBE (born July 26, 1958) is a Canadian classical pianist sometimes regarded as one of the world's foremost exponents of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach on the piano. She also holds British nationality through her father, Godfrey, who was the cathedral organist in Ottawa, Ontario

Angela Hewitt began her piano studies at age 3, performed in public at 4, and won her first music scholarship at 5. In addition to the piano, she studied violin, recorder and ballet (at Mme. Toumine's school in Ottawa). Her first recital was in The Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto at the age of 9. She studied at the Toronto Conservatory from 1964 to 1973. She then went on to study with the French pianist, Jean-Paul Sévilla at the University of Ottawa. She was placed first in the Gian Battista Viotti competition in 1978 and won the Toronto International Bach piano competition in 1985.

Angela Hewitt has performed internationally as a soloist with renowned orchestras and has made many recordings. In 1994, the Hyperion record label signed her to record all the keyboard music of J. S. Bach, a project that was recently completed and spanned 14 discs. (Deutsche Grammophon had been given an opportunity to be involved in such a project, but after hearing her first disc recorded as part of her prize for the Toronto competition, they were not enthusiastic, saying there was no market for Bach on the piano.[1])

Angela Hewitt has also made notable recordings of the works of some French composers — including François Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau, and Olivier Messiaen, as well as Emmanuel Chabrier and Maurice Ravel, both of whose piano works she recorded in complete cycles. These recordings have been well received.[citation needed] She has also recorded a number of Beethoven piano sonatas, part of a projected complete cycle for the Hyperion label, and the Beethoven cello sonatas with the cellist Daniel Müller-Schott, also for Hyperion.

Hewitt recorded Bach's complete Well-Tempered Clavier in 1997-99 for Hyperion, and the set has often been recommended as a "reference" version.[citation needed] Nonetheless, after she undertook a world tour from August 2007 to October 2008, during which she performed the Well-Tempered Clavier complete in one concert in 58 cities in 21 countries on six continents, she decided to re-record the entire work. She persuaded Hyperion to back it, and the new recording was made September 8-16, 2008 in the Jesus-Christus-Kirche in Berlin. Unlike the previous recording, the new one makes use of her favored custom-built Fazioli piano.

Angela Hewitt is the founder and artistic director of the Trasimeno Music Festival, held annually since 2005 in Magione, Italy.

Since 1985 Angela Hewitt has lived in London. She also has homes in Canada and Umbria, Italy. In 2000, she was made an Officer of the Order of Canada (OC). She was created an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) on June 17, 2006.(wiki)
