  • Quite a crowd

  • Hamelin deserves his legendary status among pianists.

    The Chopin-Godowsky studies are amusing technical stunts, but most are so inferior to the Chopin original because the musical structures are compromised down to frivolity. Godowsky's better pieces are found elsewhere and are unfortunately neglected. 

  • Lol the people in the back are chuckling because they are familiar with Chopin's Black Key Etude and they are hearing it paraphrased. :)

    Plus they're chuckling because they know Marc-André Hamelin is un-freakin-believeable.

  • This is quite enough to make everyone give up the piano--no one can touch this!

  • Haha... he makes everyone look like a moron.

  • this is such a great document! MAH is toying with some pieces which have the nimbus of being unplayable! it is so funny to watch these piano teachers and students of the highest level being overwhelmed by his miraculous technique... more, please! more!!!

  • i cant play with both hands half the way he does it with one

  • In a video like this, all you do is listen to hamelin and watch the audience get mesmerized, staring at him like a god!

  • That's the most amazing piano playing I've ever seen. I think I'm going to give up playing myself now :(

  • Es ist immer ein grosses glück, diesen Mann zu erleben- jedes Lob ist noch immer zu wenig

  • Autant de notes !!! .....comme les dollars perdus dans la crise financière....

  • ps: especially the white shirt guy, he attanded 99% the recitals at the series in ikif 2005, and he seemed very much known all the pieces!!

  • yes, i went to this recital personally, it was such an amazing recital...i was so stunned to see a piano virtuoso (one of my favorite) played all virtuostic pieces alive on stage for 2 hours...

    (i didn't get a seat on the stage, LOL, it was fun to watch Hamelin performance along with the stage audience...)

  • Yeah.... look at the people in the back... they can't believe their eyes!!!

  • fantastic! thank you for these. you should really think about releasing these as DVDs! People don't mind that it's not a professionally made DVD when the performances are this good!
