Angela Hewitt, awarded the crowning recognition of “Artist of the Year 2006” by Gramophone Magazine, takes on the monumental Well-Tempered Clavier, Books I & II by Johann Sebastian Bach over two glorious nights (April 25 & 27) at the Victoria Concert Hall.
Since their publication in 1722 and 1744 respectively, the two books of The Well-Tempered Clavier – a collection of 48 preludes and fugues in all the major and minor keys – have become one of the most important and influential of solo keyboard music and a staple in the repertoire of all classical pianists. -- www.sso.org.sg
