由思想到情感再到指尖,一气呵成
伯纳德·霍兰在2007年2月的《纽约时报》上如是评价安杰拉·休伊特:“安杰拉·休伊特的演出之所以能够吸引观众,与“交流”一词分不开。很多钢琴表演者的演奏像是机械地转化,由他们心中的那个钢琴家决定演奏什么,然后发送指令,通过演奏者的身体和手指将指令传送到键盘上,然后再进入听众的耳朵。过程决定结果。只有少数优秀的钢琴家可以使作品与自己的思想和情感相融合,同时通过指尖表达出来,安杰拉·休伊特就是一位这样的优秀钢琴家。要实现这一跨越,需要一种超常的精神力量。优秀的音乐家犹如优秀的运动员,不仅要有强壮的肌肉,更要有持续的强大意志力。使每个音乐瞬间都充满激情的全情投入,可能很多演奏者在十分钟之内就会筋疲力尽,然而安杰拉·休伊特做却做到了。”

Angela Hewitt is a phenomenal artist who has established herself at the highest level over the last few years not least through her superb, award-winning recordings for Hyperion.

She has been hailed as “the pre-eminent Bach pianist of our time” (The Guardian) and “nothing less than the pianist who will define Bach performance on the piano for years to come” (Stereophile). She has a vast repertoire ranging from Couperin to the contemporary.
