Some recent recordings by Marc-André Hamelin on Hyperion
ISAAC ALBÉNIZ (1860–1909)
Iberia; La vega; Yvonne en visite!; España: Souvenirs; Navarra
2 Compact Discs CDA67476/7
‘Here is the most immaculate, effortless and refined of all Iberias. Where others
fight to stay afloat, Marc-André Hamelin rides the crest of every formidable wave
with nonchalant ease and poetry’ (Gramophone)
CHARLES-VALENTIN ALKAN (1813–1888)
Concerto for solo piano, Op 39 Nos 8–10; Troisième recueil de chants, Op 65
Compact Disc CDA67569
‘A performance of the Concerto of such brilliance and lucidity that one can only
listen in awe and amazement. Scaling even the most ferocious hurdles with
yards to spare, he is blessedly free to explore the very heart of Alkan’s
bewildering interplay of austerity and monstrous elaboration’ (Gramophone)
FRÉDÉRIC CHOPIN (1810–1849)
Piano Sonatas 2 & 3; Berceuse; Barcarolle; Nocturnes, Op 27
Compact Disc CDA67706
‘Hamelin, a poet among virtuosos, brings sensibility and a brilliant technique in
equal measure to this oft-recorded music … This is the Chopin of a true Romantic,
spellbinding … and superbly recorded’ (The Sunday Times)
MARC-ANDRÉ HAMELIN (b1961)
12 Études in all the minor keys; Con intimissimo sentimento
Cathy’s Variations; Little Nocturne
Compact Disc CDA67789
‘Dear Marc-André, I begged and pleaded for Hyperion to keep this disc under
wraps. But now that it’s released, all of us composer / pianists have no choice
but to go out of business. Isn’t it enough for you simply to be the world’s most
proficient pianist? Do you also have to compose amazingly well for your
instrument, and rewardingly so? Must you serve up some of the most witty,
charming, entertaining and devastatingly effective piano music of your
generation?’ (Gramophone)
FRANZ LISZT (1811–1886)
Piano Sonata in B minor; Fantasie und Fuge über das Thema B-A-C-H
Bénédiction de Dieu dans la solitude; Venezia e Napoli
Compact Disc CDA67760
‘Even by Marc-André Hamelin’s standards this Liszt recital is a towering achievement …
In short, this is a pianist to trump all aces’ (Gramophone)
