Angela Hewitt: Bach: Bach Arrangements LP

Last but by no means least … from Angela Hewitt, the ‘Queen of Bach’, comes a selection of piano transcriptions of JS Bach's music. The Bach Arrangements recorded here are by composers and arrangers as diverse as Wilhelm Kempff, Mary Howe, Dame Myra Hess, William Walton, John Ireland, Herbert Howells, Harriet Cohen, Harold Bauer, Eugen d'Albert and Angela herself. The original CD release won a Canadian Juno Award in 2002, and Angela’s typically erudite but approachable liner notes are included.
