  • Hamelin is unique in defying the stereotype of the virtuoso. He downplays flair, extravagance, hysterical exertion, sonic innovation, etc. in order to express his true personality: humility, artistocracy, calm, ecstatic servitude to the score. You are watching the consummate professional.

  • The sound he produces is exquisite. It's just really strange how can he play the most difficult parts so nice and in the same time have this casual-relaxed look, ;D It's stunning!

  • I have deep respect for Hamelin's work. Very good interpretation.

    Like a few others mister Hamelin is very underestimated.

  • @musikgeek71 lol hamelin could play this twice as fast and the chords 3 times as fast. He plays it at the correct speed - this piece is easy for him

  • @RobdeVrije You should then hear his live performance on youtube of un suspiro

  • @RE144 yes 2.18 

  • @wborgstro haha lol

  • from 1:13 to 1:15 tones of HEAVEN, voices of HEAVEN !!

  • Very good ears for balance of melody and accompaniment.

  • @aammoossquito Hamelin has said in interviews that he is uncomfortable with the videos on YouTube of him in his early days. So it's likely that the recordings you've heard are from a later period.

    He says that he has matured a lot as an artist; there are some elements of these early performances that embarrass him.

  • GREAT JOB, you play this piece very well.

  • @Pischnaholic He hasn't been hiding. Marc-André Hamelin has been on the scene for 20 years. There are even more pianists of his caliber out there too. Open your eyes and your ears!
