Angela Hewitt

Cricketers may or may not have heard of Angela Hewitt.  She is a Canadian pianist of hihest quality whose repetoire is focussed on Bach and Scarlatti.

She has brightened Fantasy Bob's days during lockdown by posting on Twitter recordings of her playing short pieces (Twitter videos are limited to just over 2 minutes).  The camera is placed at the end of the kwyboard and Angela's hand dominate the screen.  It is a view that is not available anywhere else.  Watching her hands move across the keyboard is a joy in itself.  

Unhappily for FB, and many of her fans, she stopped these recordings on 30 June.  100 up was enough for her.  FB rather feels the same - he has hoped his lockdown return to blogging has enlivened some readers during dull or difficult days of lockdown.  But, like Angela, he needs a bit of a rest.  So he won't be posting daily any more.  He may be back.  Who knows?

Angela Hewitt's wonderful playing continues to be available - search for her on Twitter @HewittJSB or on YouTube.

Fantasy Bob's Wittering will always be here.
