Hamelin plays Chaminade - Theme and Variations Audio + Sheet music

[tsgrey]

It's beautiful piece, and Hamelin plays this kind of thing perfectly. However, it's not a Theme and Variations.  Surely Cécile knew that?

[Nomlahluis]

Learning this song is easy, learning to play it like this wonderful pianist did, is hard...

[semicroma]

@Nomlahluis Because of the fast scales, arpeggios and trills I would say it´s not very easy for most pianists.

BEAUTIFUL. I like to listen to this while I stall on my homework.

I'm going to learn this after I finish a Nocturne....

[PianoBlond]

@iiHusky hahaha, believe me or not, that s' exactly what i was thinking, i want to learn it too right after finishing the nocturne :)

This is beautiful! What CD is it from, if I may ask?

[madlovba3]

@naremconscendit I'm glad you like it! :) It's not from a CD, but from a non-commercial radio broadcast from a live recital at Amsterdam. However I posted another track from there you may also like, Dukas' epic Piano Sonata (it's also posted with score scrolling).

[2hyeok]

@madlovba3 oh

[luigiperso]

@2hyeok , glad that you approved. Otherwise they would not call you 'Best Master In Town'.

[gerardbedecarter]

A very pleasant piece.

Both Chaminade's music and that of Moskowski seems to have been composed with both the pianist and listener in mind; Ponti once remarked that Moskowski fits like a pianist's glove. A real beauty and Hamelin seems a little more better recorded than Jacobs in this one. Let's hope that Hamelin puts out a complete disc of Chaminade soonest...
