Extractions: Front Page Intro Klee's CD's by Joe H. Klee The Complete Solo Piano Music of Maurice Ravel Angela Hewitt Hyperion CDA 67341/2 [138:11] If proof were needed that lightning can strike twice in the same place, consider the evidence of this fine young Canadian-born pianist. Not to take anything away from Glenn Gould, Angela Hewitt follows in his footsteps even to centering her recording career around the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. Having proven herself in that classic Baroque repertoire, as well as the contemporary music of Olivier Messaien, she now moves to one of the twin titans of the French Impressionist period, Maurice Ravel. The hits are all here in this double CD collection ... Pavanne pour une infanta defunte, Le Tombeau de Couperin, Gaspard de la nuit and Miroirs. So are the less often recorded Serenade grostesque and Prelude. Not since the historic 1951 Columbia recordings by Robert Casadesus have I heard such a comprehensive, and excellently performed, survey of Ravel's music for the solo piano. The recorded sound of the piano, a Hamburg Steinway I would guess, leaves nothing to be desired. The liner notes by Ms. Hewitt are extensive and fascinating and end with her acknowledgement of one of her teachers, Jean-Paul Sevilla. This double CD from Hyperion belongs in the collection of anyone who loves the piano music of Maurice Ravel ... regardless of how many other recordings of this music they already own.

Extractions: JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750) Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the undisputed giants of late Baroque music and one of the supreme creative geniuses of all time. He produced masterpieces in virtually all the musical genres then known, except opera. His contribution to music has been equated with that of Shakespeares to literature or Michelangelos to painting and sculpture. Coming as he did at the end of an era, Bach did not set out to revolutionise the music of his time, but to enrich it. His genius lay in taking simple musical forms, like the preludes, fugues and dances so popular in his day, and transforming them into works of superb craftsmanship and rare ingenuity. Bachs music typically features an intricate, highly embellished melodic line and an underpinning of pulsating rhythm that assures both unity of mood and a sense of perpetual motion.

Extractions: English Suite #6 in D minor, BWV 811 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Deutsche Grammophon Catalog Number: Year Released/Recorded: Total Playing Time: Comments: From the booklet with the CD. Although no pianist who plays the music of Bach today can ignore the highly individual style of Glenn Gould, there is little evidence of direct influence to be found in Angela Hewitt's playing. She employs a varied touch, makes sensitive use of legato, and generally avoids the pointillistic approach that Gould preferred. But she sees no contradiction in playing the music Bach composed for the harpsichord on a modern piano.
