�Hewitt has never tried merely to copy the character and techniques of harpsichord on the piano. Rather, she translates one to the other, capitalising on their differences...[Oliva's] modern silver flute has a glorious shimmering quality and an even tone...[His] breath control is astonishing...Hewitt's clean articulation exemplary...this is an inspired modern-instrument take on Bach.� --BBC Music Magazine, April 2013 ****
�Oliva is alert to the stylistic nuances, both Baroque and galant, inherent in these works...What makes this recording stand out is Oliva and Hewitt's consummate musicality and palpable sense of ease, whatever the demands of the music.� --Gramophone Magazine, June 2013

Fans of Angela Hewitt will be delighted to find her in chamber mode, accompanying Andrea Oliva (described as �one of the best flutists of his generation, a shining star in the world of the flute� by Sir James Galway) in a programme of J S Bach�s flute sonatas (including one by his most famous and talented son, CPE). Of unfailingly remarkable quality, all these works exploit the full potential of an instrument which was only just coming into its own when they were written. Oliva�s lyricism and agility coupled with Hewitt�s musicianship�not to mention her lifelong rapport with Bach�s music�make this an album to treasure.
