Haydn: Piano Sonatas
(2007)
more music like this
performed by
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
composed by
Franz Joseph Haydn
Québec pianist Marc-André Hamelin has emerged as a major star of the keyboard in recent years, but this brilliant double-disc set of Haydn keyboard sonatas -- a representative 10 out of some 60 the composer wrote -- was still hard to see coming. It may well become the definitive single-release choice for Haydn's sonatas, which are too often cherry ...

Nikolai Kapustin: Piano Music
(2004)
more music like this
performed by
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
composed by
Nikolai Kapustin
Lest his classical-sounding titles mislead, Nikolai Kapustin's piano music is little more than virtuosic cocktail jazz, and it should not be taken as anything more advanced or serious. This 2004 disc of solo piano works may appeal to a small crossover audience, but the music's surface glitter and easy-to-absorb tunes are not enough to mask its ...

Schumann: Carnaval; Fantasiestücke; Papillons

performed by
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
composed by
Robert Schumann
The career of Quebec pianist Marc-André Hamelin has prospered partly because it has followed an unusual arc: Hamelin began with an attention-getting specialty, the extreme virtuoso repertory of the late nineteenth century, and has expanded into more familiar piano works. His selection of Haydn sonatas is a revelation, finding a real keyboardist's ...

composed by
Johannes Brahms
Magnificently muscular, lovingly lyrical, and deeply joyful, Marc-André Hamelin's 2006 recording of Brahms' Second Piano Concerto with Andrew Litton directing the Dallas Symphony Orchestra is a welcome addition to the work's discography. While there have been other muscular performances -- one thinks of Gilels and Richter's -- and other lyrical ...

composed by
Charles-Valentin Alkan
Anyone familiar with the unfailing digits and seemingly inexhaustible energy of Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin would find the very prospect of his recording Charles-Valentin Alkan's giga-difficult Concerto for solo piano as a natural match of pianist and piece. This 50-minute mega-monstrosity -- the first movement alone lasts nearly a half an ...

Dukas: Piano Sonata; Decaux; Clairs de Lune
(2006)
more music like this
performed by
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
composed by
Abel Decaux, Paul Dukas
Among pianists, Paul Dukas' Sonata in E flat minor has acquired a singular reputation, not only because it requires considerable technique and physical stamina to pull off, but also because it is one of the least performed of the great late Romantic keyboard works. By most standards, this imposing piano sonata should have enjoyed much more acclaim ...

composed by
Jay Reise
The richly chromatic harmonies and vaporous melodic shapes in Jay Reise's piano music may well bring Alexander Scriabin to mind, but so, too, do the strikingly complex cross-rhythms and frenzied passage work on display in the Sonata Rhythmikosmos (1993, revised 2001) and the Pictures (6) from The Devil in the Flesh (1998-2001). Reise could not ...

Kaleidoscope is a sampling of rather obscure, virtuoso, solo piano works that show Marc-André Hamelin's talents to their best advantage. The pieces selected by Hamelin may be called miniatures, but they are hardly miniature in any way except performance time. All were written by pianist/composers, including a couple by Hamelin himself. All but two ...

This 2004 Hyperion recording is actually Marc-André Hamelin's second traversal through Ives' Concord Sonata; his initial venture being among the first of his commercial recordings, made back in 1988 for New World Records. Back in the days of LPs, you were lucky to get two new "Concords" in the course of a decade; Hamelin's was at least the third ...
