BACH: Selections from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1 Selected works by MENDELSSOHN, SHOSTAKOVICH, & BARBER BRAHMS: Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel, Op. 24
Hailed as “one of the reliably mesmerising musicians of the day,” pianist Angela Hewitt offers a program spanning centuries of contrapuntal invention. From the radiant depths of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier to the bold modernism of Shostakovich and Barber, she explores the evolution of the prelude-and-fugue form across time and style. The journey culminates in Brahms’s monumental Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel — a towering tribute to the past, reimagined through Romantic brilliance.
