Marc-andre Hamelin Plays The Composer-pianists
Label: Hyperion Catalog: CDA67050 Format: CD A showcase for Marc-André Hamelin, this disc focuses on the work of a group of composers, all virtuoso pianists themselves, who were fascinated by the possibilities of sound and colour inherent in the piano which could be realized by the transcendentally-equipped executant. Marc himself composes in this tradition and for many the highlight of this disc will be the three studies of his own - pianophiles who until now have only heard these pieces as encores at his recitals will be delighted that these works have finally been recorded. |
