Angela Hewitt's long-awaited DVD on Bach Performance on the Piano is now finally available and can be purchased below.
The double-DVD is in two parts. The first is a two-and-a-half-hour lecture in seven chapters.
Each chapter is introduced with a performance of a short piece of Bach (the C major Two-part Invention, the Menuet in G, the E major Fugue from Book I of the Well-Tempered Clavier, etc.). The chapters include such topics as The Essentials (Phrasing, Singing tone, Articulation, Fingering, Pedalling) to Interpretation (Tempo, Dynamics, Rhythmic alterations), The Dance in Bach, Learning a Fugue, Ornamentation, as well as advice on editions, memorization, and practising Bach. The second part of the DVD is devoted to an hour-long recital recorded in front of a live audience. The programme comprises the Partita No. 4 in D major, the Italian Concerto, and the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue.
The DVD was filmed in the Fazioli piano factory and concert hall near Venice which makes a fascinating back-drop to the lecture. There are subtitles in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, two types of Chinese and Russian.

The DVD will play in all regions of the world.

Though it is not an inpetto filmproduction, Boris Fromageot and Michael Boomers were responsible on the cameras, David Kammerer for the sound, Stefan Gagstetter as editor and Uli Aumüller as director - thus an experienced inpetto team.
