This disc is very special. Up until now, all of Angela Hewitt"s Bach recordings have been made in Germany on her favorite piano and withher chosen producer, Ludger Böckenhoff. For this recording of the Goldbergs, a work for which she has especial reverence, Angela inspected several venues in Britain. Accordingly Ms. Hewitt and Ludger, the piano and piano technician Gerd Finkenstein, traveled from Germany to London s Henry Wood Hall, where no fewer than five days were allocated to record the work. Angela finished the recording at the end of the fifth day, after which she went home for a bath and something to eat. Everybody then went back to HWH in the middle of the night and recorded the whole thing again, without a break. After a few final adjustments in the editing room, that is the performance that appears on this disc. All repeats are observed.
