About Bach: French Overture, Italian Concerto, Etc
Amazon.com Angela Hewitt follows her outstanding Bach recordings, including the Goldberg Variations and the Well-Tempered Clavier, with another sterling disc, highlighted by a gleaming rendition of the French Overture, whose half-hour zips by like the wind. Its opening is played with rhetorical grandeur and the dance-based movements pulsate with life. Her Italian Concerto is effervescent, as Hewitt's alert rhythmic sense and precise articulation give this atypical work just the bounce it needs. She characterizes the narrative of the Capriccio on the Departure of His Beloved Brother beautifully, bringing out the emotions suffusing the departure scene and rendering the posthorn imitations with flair. Throughout, Bach's contrapuntal lines are clarified without didactic underlining. Add realistic sound and Hewitt's own informative notes and this disc is a winner. --Dan Davis Product description Concerto Italien, BWV971 - Capriccio sur le départ de son frère-bien aimé, BWV992 - Capriccio, BWV993 - Quatre duos, BWV802-805 - Ouverture Française, BWV831 / Angela Hewitt, piano
