Ten years after her initial recording of Domenico Scarlatti, pianist Angela Hewitt returns to the Baroque master’s repertoire with a curated selection of 16 additional keyboard sonatas. Showcasing Scarlatti’s distinctive Spanish influences, evoking the rhythmic energy of stomping feet and strumming guitars, Hewitt highlights the composer’s fertile invention, variegated colors, and capricious mood shifts. Praised for her exemplary musicianship and deep affinity for the repertoire, she pairs her insightful performances with her own scholarly booklet notes, published in English, German, and French, reflecting a lifetime dedicated to studying and interpreting these expressive works.

Angela Hewitt (born 1958) is an internationally acclaimed classical pianist, widely recognized as one of the world's foremost interpreters of J.S. Bach. Since launching her career by winning the 1985 Toronto International Bach Piano Competition, she has built an extensive, award-winning discography with Hyperion Records, highlighted by her celebrated cycle of Bach’s major keyboard works and the complete Beethoven sonatas. Beyond her global tours and marathon recital series, like The Bach Odyssey, Hewitt frequently conducts major orchestras from the piano, commissions contemporary works, and directs the annual Trasimeno Music Festival. A dedicated educator, humanitarian, and Companion of the Order of Canada, her profound musical contributions have earned her numerous honorary doctorates, the Leipzig Bach Medal, and an OBE.
