“Hewitt’s marvelous control of her instrument and her profound artistic sensibility yielded exquisite music that was alive with nuance and expression. Smooth and even undulating melodies seemed to be in conversation, while finely calibrated variations in dynamics and articulation brought ripples of emotion. The evening’s final piece, the Fantasia and Fugue in A minor, was a sublime balance of rigour and passion, and it immediately brought listeners in the nearly full church to their feet for a prolonged ovation.”

“Hewitt played Bach’s three-part inventions so that they came over as one single variegated work, with the plangent ninth acting as its dark heart, in the way the Black Pearl variation does for the Goldbergs; the following two pieces brushed away the tears with a joyful lightness. The Fantasy and Fugue was majestic, culminating in a grand-diapason organ conclusion.”
