I enjoyed her Bach and Beethoven recital, but I didn't really need to be told that she was wearing ivory trousers (WTF?) and that her lipstick matched her top. She could have been wearing a donkey jacket for all I care.
Too much information.

she was wearing ivory trousers You would think they would be a bit stiff to walk in! I found that odd all through the Proms. The Radio 3 announcers often passed comment on soloists' attire, presumably just to fill air time (there wasn't anything interesting to say about the music?) |

Peter Grimes,
Thank you for posting about Angela Hewitt recital. I have a little time before my student comes. I am listening to the recital on listen again now.
I don't care what she wears, but it is somewhat interesting what she was wearing. I like to see what women are wearing when I attend the recitals.
May be it is important to make an over all impression.
Ivory trousers are unusual for lady pianist to wear.
I already heard Angela Hewitt several times on Radio 3. I think she is a good pianist (in kind of safe way). What I mean is that she plays safe pieces safely. And she knows what she can play.
I am posting the last comment because I want to know what people are thinking about her playing.

Are these ivory trousers?  I don't really care what she wears, I just enjoy her playing. I once gave her a lift to Birmingham International station  Oooops sorry, you probably can't see that picture, I'll try to post it from elsewhere. Well here's a link to the pic anyway: http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/181/178/1600/angela%20hewiit%201.jpg |

Angela Hewitt talks to Alan Rusbridger about the joy and difficulty of playing Bach: Just talk a bit about what it’s like living with Bach. Well, he’s a pretty good friend. He’s a demanding friend, I tell you! He gives me sore muscles in my neck! Everybody thinks vertically in Bach. I try to always think horizontally. http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/sep/19/angela.hewitt.bach.alan.rusbridgerFascinating. |

Is it just me, or does she bear more than a passing resemblance to Imogen Cooper?

  I like both of them. Do people like Angela's red dress? I have to say that to me Imogen Cooper looks very beautiful. Also as a pianist she is probably more interesting, but it is subjective opinion. I am just saying it to hear people's opinion. |

This is very cute, Andy D. I think AH is a pianist in heart. I think she is analytical by nature. I loved violin more than piano when I was a child and I still do (though I like piano sound now too). I just love Imogen Cooper very much.    I don't like that, but it is so difficult to buy dresses. You have to try so many and it is easy to make a mistake. |

I like her red dress from the waist down. Her shoes are nice, too. I didn't know what Angela Hewitt looked like until I saw that picture. I didn't think she looked like that but I think I was mixing her up with somebody else. |

I agree with you IgnorantRockFan. Shoes and the bottom part of her dress is all right. I don't understand what she has on her arms in that red dress. I think it would be better to have red colour on top and something dark on the bottom.  I don't think I like the colour or design of this one too, but I am too critical. May be it is not bad. |

She means everybody thinks harmonically, but she thinks in terms of lines (poliphonic lines). I don't think I like the interview very much. Some people are gifted with language skills and some are not. I also think that people have to know what I mean or what I want to say. This is better picture in my opinion.  do people like it? |

I am wondering what if anything Ms Hewitt's appearance has to do with her playing.

I know what she means. But I can't believe it's true: do most Bach players think harmonically rather than polyphonically?! |
