This recording - a two-for-the-price-of-one set - pits enthusiastic composer and master pianist Marc-André Hamelin against enthusiastic pianist and master composer Joseph Haydn.
The programme is varied: a tour through Haydn's 'experimental' and 'popularist' styles culminates with two of the acknowledged 'great' sonatas, Nos. 50 and 52. And how suited this all is to the performer: Hamelin's devotion to virtuosicv innovation - as reflected in his astonishing discography - is so firmly rooted in his passion for a sense of pianist genealogy that these seminal works seem entirely in keeping with his more pyrotechnical reputation.
Watch for the second volume of this series, available for pre-order before the release date in August!!! |
