Angela Hewitt, piano

Mozart: Sonata in F, K. 332

J S Bach: French Overture in B minor, BWV 831

Brahms: Sonata for Piano No. 3 in F minor, Op. 5

Angela Hewitt plays a beautifully crafted programme for our Festival Finale. Mozart's Piano Sonatas rarely receive the same attention as his grander compositions, yet they contain great wit and sophistication. In his French Overture, Bach evidently enjoys playing with the distinctive rhythms of Baroque French dance, lending, in Angela Hewitt's words, "grandeur and pomposity" to the work. Symphonic in size and scope, and intensely passionate in character, Brahms' final piano sonata is a masterpiece of technical brilliance.

"One of the reliably mesmerising musicians of the day … with the ability to convey a spiritual seriousness that nonetheless does not exclude an utter charm." The Sunday Times
