Dear Angela,
It was wonderful to see you and hear you play again in Toronto. It was also great to have a bit of a chat with your mother after the concert. Best of luck with your festival in Umbria...I thought I might be able to make it there this year. Next time, for sure!
Fabulous website! I'll visit often.
With love,
Chris
Dear Miss Hewitt,
Shalom! from Jerusalem! What a delightful source of nourishment your recordings are to my wife and me. We are so blessed that you will be coming up to Jerusalem next week. Know that our love and prayers will be with you as you visit and play in our land. We are grateful...and wish to extend to you the Hebrew greeting..."Br'cha haBa'a"...(Blessed is she who comes)!
Sincerely,
Martin & Norma Sarvis
Jerusalem
I first heard you play last week and called the radiostation to get more information. The piece was Bach'sPartita in B flat Major. I was able to get the recording on the internet. I am impressed. My next one, I hope
(haven't been able to find it yet) is the Goldberg Variations.
I have several recordings with different musicians playing Bach and your interpretation is right up there.
I saw on a Danish website that you will be performing on Langeland, Denmark, in August, and since I am planning a trip there this summer to visit family, I'll try to include your concert.
Dear Angela, I have collected every one of your fabulous records and for me you are simply the finest ever player of Bach's music on the Piano. I have always revered Edwin Fischer and Rosalyn Tureck in this music but you are even finer than them. I can listen to you for hours on end and still want more.
I heard you play Mozart sublimely in Brighton in April, and came to your recital at the Royal festival Hall on 22 May.I was bowled over by your wonderful playing, not just the Bach but also the sensuousness you gave the Ravel. I had never realised the emotional depth of Liszt's Sonata until I heard you play it. I had always regarded it as just a barnstorming display piece. How do you do it ?!!
I had the pleasure of meeting you afterwards when you kindly signed my CDs, you were so warm and welcoming to us ordinary members of the public !
I will come and hear you again at every opportunity.
Dear Angela,
Your recital in Bath was wonderful - it has to be one of the most inspiring concerts I've ever been to. Watching you play the Lizst piece almost had me in tears. Virtuosotastic. I wanted to meet you afterwards when you were signing the cds but I had to catch my bus. I'd love to come to see you in Italy but I'm seeing Queen in Hyde Park. Come back next year and keep playing that Lizst.
Much love,
Philip
Hello Angela!
We met last evening on the flight from Rome to Bristol (I must again apologise for taking my boots off and disturbing your computer work!!).
We are now back at home in Barnstaple, North Devon and have looked up your website - it's fantastic!
We hope that your stay in Bath is good and that your concert tonight (Sunday 29th May) is a success. Rest assured we will tune into Radio 3 on 26th June to listen to the Royal Festival Hall recital.
With best wishes, Susan and Phillip.
Dear Ms Hewitt: I am writing to you to say how much I appreciate your new website. It is not often that I found a website that is cogent, fascinating, entertaining, and and that keeps me so well-informed of your doings. I wonder if I could make a suggestion, about fans being able to download your music from the site. I presume that you hold copyright in what you do, and therefore there is no reason why you could not make available music to fans on demand. You could have this down by giving only a few seconds' sampling and thus make more fans want to buy the works. Alternatively, you could have whole CDs ready to download, and charge fans by credit card. This, as many millions have discovered, is very easy. It would also be one way to destroy the scourga of record companies, who already make far too much money. Best, Roger Mauntner
Dearest Angela, it has been far too long since I last wrote you. So much to say, but I will leave that for another time. Myself and the girls were thrilled to here about your Juno award (#3 is it?) and were equally disappointed you couldn't make it to Winnipeg. I saw that you were in Minneapolis for a concert. I am extremely impressed with your website and it has allowed me to keep up with you as you tour the world. I think it's a great way for your fans (I of course being #1) to hear your news and see where and what you are playing next. I will write you more soon. All my best.
Dear Angela, Thank you very much for your two night recitals in Tokyo last week. Ever since we went to your first debut concert in Japan last year, we were very attracted by your well-prepared program and performance. You amazed us by playing the Goldberg (fully repeated version) for 80 minutes non-stop with the unique Italian piano FAZIOLI 278. It delivered us clear sound for each phrase and each note produced by your ten fingers. I felt high-density, brilliant-cut, integrity, softness, delicate and well-balanced tune, but honestly speaking they were beyond description. The second night program of Chopin's three nocturnes and Ravel fascinated us as well. It sounded very new and fresh gained by contrast with the first half of Bach works. What a great and smart program it was!
Also, you looked fabulous on stage. I remember you appeared last year in Tokyo with a different colored dress each night. You always seem to impress us with your dress, and wanted to tell you that you are the best pianist dresser! We're so lucky to find out about your site as we can now see your dress. We noticed this year that your musical moment motions during performance were so stylish and even Oscar award actress cannot duplicate such actions. I am still expecting you to present the Scarlatti's sonatas by FAZIOLI piano
and I am very excited to find out about the first Trasimeno Music Festival. At the opening concert on July 2, I see that you are going to play Händel, Scarlatti and Bach, big three genius boys born in 1685. What an intelligent program! I wish I could be there and will try to think of a way to get there to see you perform.
Thanks again for your appearance in Tokyo. Warm Regards, Kazunori SHIBUYA
Ms Hewitt,
We loved your concert in Shepherdstown on April 10. Of course it was masterful--every note seemed perfect! How gracious of you to perform for such a small audience with the same artistry and energy you would expend for a larger and perhaps a more sophisticated one. It was well worth the four hour drive to hear such fine playing. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! (more on private contact screen)
