I'd rather listen to Bach played by Angela Hewitt rather than by somebody on a harpsichord.Here's another example. I believe this group plays on historic instruments but the piano is modern. The best of both worlds. This series of discs is great.

You don't like Angela Hewitt either? Me thinks you're a bit of a snob. No offense.
It adds character to a world otherwise filled with REAL snobs. The last "live" concert I attended before the pandemic was Angela Hewitt performing the Goldberg Variations. Most amazing performance of anything I've ever seen live. The piano was her pre-wrecked Fazioli (it was destroyed later by movers). A modern grand piano with distinctive aural qualities can be a nice bridge between HIP and contemporary tastes.
Hewitt is working on Beethoven's Hammerklavier to complete her cycle on Hyperion, and I am looking forward to it.
The editing must be taking a LONG time!
I'd like to hear Angela Hewitt perform the Shostakovich Piano Concerto #1 accompanied by John Eliot Gardiner and his Orchestre Revolutionnaire et Romantique band and have Chris write a review! One catch: he would actually have to listen to it before he writes the review.
Aye! There's the rub! ;-)
