CD Reviews2007 Bach Tour Issue Alan Lekan | Boulder, CO | 11/24/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Hyperion Records issued this complete 4-CD set for Hewitt's 2007/08 "Bach World Tour" (bachworldtour). The original performances here (WTC-I, WTC-II) were recorded in 1998/99 and still set a high mark for contemporary recordings of Bach's 48. Its largely what put Angela on the music map back then. Small bonus: the splashy cover art (with her gorgeous Fazioli piano) is certainly more colorful than the rather mundane original graphics. Such monumental music and high-caliber performances make this collection a solid investment for the classical music collector - or anyone interested in the timeless art of J.S. Bach whose Well-Tempered Clavier is in the great pantheon of keyboard music. Compositions - 5 stars; Performances - 5 stars; Sound - 4 stars. More detailed reviews can be seen on the pages for the original two-set issues. PS: In Spring '09, Hyperion released a new recording of the 48 from Hewitt's '08 tour period. According to the artist, the foundations of her interpretations are largely the same now as then - but her phrasing, distinguishing of parts and rhythmic drive have developed in their sophistication and technique from playing Bach for the last ten years. Also, the sound quality should be a notch higher with the latest recording technology. Also part of the Bach Tour is a masters-class DVD ("Bach Performance on Piano")." Wonderful Aquinas | celestial heights, UK | 06/14/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "I never tire of Bach's preludes and fugues; they provide constant stimulation for the brain whilst opening up the beart. This set has real balance and provides a wonderful contrast to Gould's wildly eccentric set. Warmly recommended" Superb Bach J. Mossberg | Eugene, OR | 04/12/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "Angela Hewitt is a star - the Well Tempered Klavier Book I and II are complete and wonderful She has amazing phrasing and technique. She brings out every voice involved with such clarity and yet the summation is so much greater than the parts. This is one of my all time favorite Bach compositions."
