Marc-André Hamelin - hailed as “super virtuoso” at the piano,
a pianist’s pianist. As an Hyperion recording artist, his releases
are consistently praised and prized. Certainly, as a master of
the keyboard, his performance is the stuff of legend. As a composer, he admits to creating works “of ridiculous difficulty,” and the new Con Intissimo Sentimento marks a departure.
This collection of seven “subdued” pieces is more approachable, more attainable, and includes an audio CD recording of the composer’s performance as a guide. Small wonder that its initial print run in Japan was immediately sold out, having been bought up by the legion of Hamelin’s fans (even if only for the enclosed CD!).
It is now available in the U.S. at Half Price. Enjoy! |
