Named Gramophone's Artist of the Year, leading Bach interpreter Angela Hewitt's 11-year project to record J.S. Bach's entire keyboard works resulted in "one of the record glories of our age" (The Times, London). She has been hailed as "the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time" (The Guardian) and "nothing less than the pianist who will define Bach performance on the piano for years to come" (Stereophile).
