Well, Hamelin is a great technician, but his interpretations are always a little uninspired in my opinion. Great guy though --- very down to earth.

Quite possibly the greatest technician since Godowsky? Or is he even better?

Marc-André, s'il te plaît, stop playing so darn darn well, so breathtakingly virtuistically fantasmagorically well that it makes us all look like darn dummies stomping on the white and black keys...at least that's how I feel...back to my lessons...I need to change professions...I should've taken the trombone instead, damn it!

Cuántos dedos tiene en la mano izquierda???

Good balance between melody and accompaniment.

Yeah, if you look at a picture of one of his library, it will blow your mind. He has a tremendous ability to absorb material very quickly. On a DVD I have of him, he site reads a classical sonata (mozart I think) and plays it like it's performance ready.

He sights reads like other people read newspapers, the wretch. He's goddamn Hamelin.

Hamlin just comes up a winner every time. So versatile and perfect. Real talent

Je proposerais à Godowsky de transcrire Mozart pour le music hall,-ainsi le ridicule de sa renommée serait complet.
Godowsky was studying Chopin's etude when he realized it can be played much more efficiently, using only your left hand, leaving the other hand free to hold your ice cream.

VERY clever photo-cropping, apparently fooling everyone but me. This piece, written for THREE hands, was photo-redacted to look like TWO of Hamelin's hands were out-of-play. (I figured it out by myself)
