As part of her worldwide performances celebrating the music of Bach, Angela Hewitt launches her Australian tour with this special Perth International Arts Festival event.

Angela Hewitt’s legendary performances and award-winning recordings have seen her hailed as ‘nothing less than the pianist who will define Bach performance on the piano for years to come’.

The Well-Tempered Clavier is one of the great wonders of the musical repertoire. These 48 Preludes and Fugues represent an extraordinary diversity of invention, drawing on Bach’s full range of expressive and stylistic resources. To hear them played live is an unforgettable experience.

The Perth Festival is delighted to present Angela Hewitt, the 2006 Gramophone Artist of the Year, in one of the greatest challenges of an artist’s musical insight, versatility and stamina. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime event.

I know of no musician whose Bach playing on any instrument is of greater subtlety, beauty of tone, persuasiveness of judgement or instrumental command than Hewitt’s is here
