About
The transcendental difficulties of Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’ sonata will always deter all but the greatest pianists of the day, with only a select few able to master its formidable musical, emotional and technical challenges. Marc-André Hamelin is of course very much of their number, and his performance—one which relishes all the work’s glory and grandeur—is simply stupendous.

23rd October 2024
it’s always when Beethoven is at his most virile when Hamelin most excels, especially with sweeping runs up the keyboard or busy fugal complications — anything that needs flying fingers...there is nothing in Hamelin’s latest Hyperion album (there are 89 others) to break the rule of thumb where this splendid artist is concerned: when Hamelin plays, you stop and listen.
