‘One of the record glories of our age’ THE SUNDAY TIMES

For the first time ever, Angela Hewitt’s complete recordings of the Bach keyboard works on Hyperion are presented in one collection of 27 CDs. This covers nearly 25 years of Angela’s Bach recordings on Hyperion, from 1994 to 2018.

Angela’s Bach Odyssey started in 1994 when Ted Perry, founder of Hyperion, first heard her in a recording of the Bach Inventions. Angela recounts what happened next: ‘I’ll take it!’ said Ted Perry over the telephone. ‘But you haven’t heard it yet!’ I exclaimed. ‘I don’t need to - I know it will be good’, was his reply. ‘But only if you agree to record the complete Bach.’

A 27-CD original-jackets collection with a 20-page booklet, housed in an attractive 2-piece box with lift-off lid.

10x double-CD and 7x single-CD original-jacket wallets with spines
