Hey, great job in uploading this fascinating interview! Is there any footage of Mr. Hamelin performing the Liszt sonata in it's entirety? Or cd recording?

[OrangeSodaKing]

My friend saw him live playing the Liszt sonata, and he said it was absolutely incredible! Not just technically, but musically as well! :D

I love the Liszt sonata! It's beautiful and magnificent and deep. And Hamelin is my favorite pianist.

@OrangeSodaKing I've uploaded Hamelin's version.

[CheekyVimto08]

he's very insightful

The microphone Hamelin spoke into should be sold on ebay, and those millions of dollars should go for charity.

anyone knows the name of the first piece he plays?

[madlovba2]

Franz Liszt, Sonata in B minor, 2nd movement. If you watch Yundi Li's incredible playing on youtube (the video's name is "Liszt Sonata in B Minor - Yundi Li / 李雲迪 (2of4)"), than you can hear that specific part from 02:14.

wow.. thanks for the enlightenment..

that's so specific and helpful

although Liszt is my no. 1 favorite composer, i actually don't like his sonata that's why never really hear one till end..

[anonymousQ45]

sonata in b minor by Liszt there are alot of great recordings of this piece i recommend Minoru Nojima

[Mazeppa6]

@rvn10rvn17 It's the recitative section from Liszt's B minor sonata.

First of all I totally love and respect this guy. But I have to say he does sound a little like Patrick Bateman when he talks about music.

Ahh, I wish I could see this. One of my favourite pianists playing one of my favourite pieces ( Liszt Sonata ).
