Marc-André Hamelin’s reputation as a musical adventurer is allied to an engaging unaffected musicianship. As at home in the classical repertoire as he is in the jaw-dropping virtuosity required in Liszt’s tone poems for piano and Alkan’s epic ‘symphony’ this programme shows this most versatile of musicians at his best.
‘Hamelin’s wizardry defies the laws of nature, but it is a mark of his seriousness that he used it only to illuminate the composer’s musical intentions.’
