Angela Hewitt

[Eugenia Carter]

Horace,

What you described was the antithesis of my experience with her. She was
gracious, knew exactly what she needed the instrument to do. Her only
request was an almost imperceptible voicing on two notes but necessary to
her for her interpretation of the piece. Frankly she was one of the most
enjoyable and talented performers I've worked with in the last 10 years.
Makes up for a lot of the lesser enjoyable "artists" with whom I've had the
"pleasure." :-)
