BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE INSTRUMENTAL CHOICE
'Hewitt distils the essence of the original instruments without compromsing her out-and-out commitment to the modern keyboard … The large-scale Haydn E flat Sonata is superb, above all the middle movement in an astonishing and other-wordly E major. Hewitt's dynamic range is bold … and the glittering facility of the final Presto is thrilling. Altogether a splendid contribution to these composers' anniversary year' --BBC Music Magazine

'What intrigues me most about Angela Hewitt's playing is the tension between the expressive restrictions of her 18th-century repertoire, and the imagination she deploys so fully within its boundaries … she takes pains to make each strand of the music apparent to the listener … technical virtuosity put to the service of Haydn's brilliant wit' --Fanfare, USA
'Everything emerges with an impressive combination of clarity and vitality … The programme is unique to the current catalogue, and Hewitt's favoured Fazioli instrument has been recorded with superb fidelity' --International Record Review
