Angela Hewitt brings her customary style and elegance to these works, and her vivid, joyous music-making creates a fitting conclusion to this benchmark modern survey of Bach's keyboard works.

"As Angela Hewitt's Hyperion Bach cycle concludes, her ability to voice and control the composer's counterpoint reaches sharper, more finely calibrated proportions than ever. Her astonishing dispatch of the rapid repeated notes in the finale of the D major Sonata, her bouncy, characterful articulation in the BWV 832 Suite in A, and the feathery fingerwork in the BWV 944 Fugue take great Bach playing and great pianism to joyous heights..."
