Hailed as 'the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time', Angela Hewitt is embarking on a World Tour interpreting his works. Here she showcases two of his wonderfully imaginative Partitas, and adds a touch of Spanish seasoning with Sonatas by Scarlatti, composed for the Crown Princess Maria Barbara, and borrowing the dramatic gestures of the guitar.
