@Ungoliant101 Hamelin has never recorded this one on CD unfortunately, but there are several live recordings, some of which are in very good sound quality. I've uploaded one of these, check it out: /watch?v=xPGfbQHGXdo Hamelin is such a master.

Not to mislead, I've listened to Mr. Hamelin's compositions and they are absolutely sublime.

Finally! A concert pianist who shows emotion, one who exhibits passion, not just mechanical technique, but one who expresses genuine emotion which exudes from the soul to his fingers. How many times have I listened to so-called modern day composers and their compositions which seem to go nowhere, it is as if the composer is lost, mesmerized by his own creation stuck in infinite arpeggios, not knowing when, where, or how to get off!
Not this man, he leads the listener into blissful completeness

does anyone know if there are audio recordings available of this?

mix up bach's barrocan brillance and busoni's virtuosity and you get something divine
More than mechanical capability is required to sustain my interest. It has a lot to do with what's between the ears. He knows how to put it together and bring out his heart felt expression. That is when it becomes superfluous. I enjoyed this very much.
