Customer Reviews

Beautiful5
This is an absolutely gorgeous reading of the 48. Refreshing and soothing. The musicality of this performance is unsurpassed; much better than the 97 release. The engineers really outdid themselves in capturing the dynamic range: all is crystal clear with no need to constantly adjust the volume, which has been a problem with several of Hyperion's recordings. I still may to turn to Richter or Schiff from time to time , but I've found my desert isle Well-tempered Clavier.

angela hewitt's new wtc5
Angela Hewitt's new recording of J. S. Bach's "Well Tempered Clavier" or, "The 48" is excellent. The fazioli piano upon which she recorded them is lighter in tone as is her performance lending to a clearer sound wherein I can hear all of the notes. While her first set done on a Steinway is still a "must" to have, There is a difference in the sound of this newest recording. On first hearing, I could not tell the difference; but I kept on listening and comparing and was able to detect subtle differences that, to Angela, probably seem huge. Even if I had not heard her perform the 48 before and this was my first recording of the WTC ever, I would not hesitate to highly recommend these performances. They are magnificent by anyone's standard.

Rave review and see her live if you can5
Fantastic! I heard her play this live and have this recording, both are excellent.
