Die lebensvollste, subtilste, überzeugendste Interpretation dieses Bach-Konzerts, die ich je gehört habe. Auch "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" hat mich sehr berührt. Was für eine ebenso großartige wie sympathische Pianistin! Und ein Sonderlob den hervorragenden Streichern der Victoria Symphony für ihre exquisite Wiedergabe von Griegs Holberg-Suite.

Amazing! ❤

Absolutely fantastic!

[@natexaverbrugge]

Thank you for this wonderful gift. Miss Hewitt is a national treasure and we're so fortunate to have her lead our musicians in this amazing masterpiece by Bach. And the Fabulous Faziolli is not to be sneezed at! It was also a delight to see the Grieg performed by our strings.

[@margomarshall6754]

Thank you! A wonderful concert!

[@johnmcentyre9543]

Fabulous! Supremely expressive! Masterful.

[@julieanna7607]

Amazing and "duende" - a constant passionate unfolding--bringing you into the fold! (Much of Bach is like the "duende" of flamenco, as the glorious modern dancer, Manuel Alum, described.)

[@roddyturnipseed5503]

Why thank you.

[@neilhalliday8340]

Ah, the piano ...'forte-piano' that is... through which Angela brings wonderful dynamic contrasts to the brilliant solo part .

[@jol666jol]

Angela Hewitt is a big deal of a living interpreter Bach

[@classicfan4683]

Neben der Orignal-Version (mit Jean Rondeau, Cembalo) die beste Fassung auf dem Klavier! Swinging Bach!

[@Cantbuyathrill]

35:04 I hope that was the video.

[@MarilynCrosbie]

Wow! The tempo is fast here.

[@leonkowalenko1747]

Dame Hewitt superb, as always, her Fazioli magnificent, the sound excellent ... but the chamber orchestra just doesn´t rise to muster, in my humble opinion

[@clivegovier2871]

Beautiful rendering of "Jesu Joy . . . " Why would Jesus be the joy of JSB's desiring? His signed-off dedication of each composed piece was "to the glory of God," as He is revealed in Jesus Christ. Being a churchman in the tradition of Martin Luther, he knew, Biblically, Jesus was the One who justified Him by faith - even though he knew himself to be a sinner. Christ's death outside Jerusalem's city wall was undertaken, he knew, for JSB ; faith in the risen LORD saved him, with its wonderful eternal consequences. So, Bach's music was, per se, an act of eternal gratitude to God. For the Christian musician, every note (as an Angela-seminar said) is thus of supreme importance!
