focus on BBC Radio 3, her frenetic concert schedule and expanding

Hewitt’s legion of fans will be delighted at this eagerly awaited second volume of Beethoven sonatas.

Angela presents three very different works here, written within a period of seven years: the enchanting ‘Pastoral’ Sonata Op 28, the monumental ‘Pathétique’ Op 13 and the dazzling early masterpiece Op 2 No 3. Her interpretations are vividly personal, yet the voice of the composer speaks clearly throughout.
