Angela Hewitt, Pianist February 17, 2009

A prodigy performing her first public recital at the age of five, Angela Hewitt has won a host of awards, including the International Bach Competitions of Leipzig, Toronto and Washington, D.C. and the Schumann Competition in Zwickau. Her repertoire ranges from Couperin to the contemporary, but she is considered to be "the preeminent 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).
