I have the 1998 recording of WTC 1 by Ms Hewitt. I think the Prelude in C that opens the recording is among the best executions I know of that charming little jewel. It's incredibly subtle and delicate, and it flows like a fresh water from a well in the summer.

Dr, Zerenconsky: your comments are surprisingly polarized for an experienced musician. Misleading, narrow minded, and preposterous: implying you have superior perspective on correct interpretation of Bach WTC - the scores for which are mostly devoid of performance markings. F for the course. @karenzereconsky1265

For the non-professionals, or average public, this may seem like a well executed performance. But, for those, who have seasoned ears, musical experience, and musical acumen, we notice the non-spontaneous execution of the work, ill-understanding of the musical and harmonic structure, and repetitiveness of each musical phrase. This repetitiveness leads one to understand that the performer has a total lack of musical understanding of the score.

Ah, the sad, lonely life of the never-beens...

@@panoskarnezis913 hahahahahah! Jealousy will always express itself in the form of disapproval. Like Angela, all the performers I have met, not one of them ever waists a moment criticizing another musician, because they are too busy getting on with being one. Gee, I wonder why we've never heard of Karen Zereconsky?

may have regretted this comment now. You are talking about most celebrated interpretation of Bach and recipient of the Bach medal.

I do understand where you are coming from, however, that is what makes Angela Hewitt so special. Her Bach is not traditional and I sometimes struggle to accept it. However, at the end of the day, I would still rate her as one of the best Bach performers of our time due to her innovative interpretations.

If that's what you have to write to feel better about yourself, so be it. But it's sad.
