About

Charles Richard-Hamelin continues his exploration of the works of Chopin, combining them with rare Spanish works composed at the turn of the 19th century. Frederic Chopin, Isaac Albeniz and Enrique Granados were all virtuoso pianists whose music is characterized by rich melody, refined harmony and fantasy. The pieces that make up this program echo each other by interweaving poetry and dance through both familiar and obscure melodies.

4 out of 5 stars

April 2025

Richard-Hamelin’s reading of Albéniz’s epic La Vega has a forthright momentum that differs from Marc-André Hamelin’s subtle colorations and lyrical introspection (Hyperion, 6/05); it’s difficult to chose one approach over the other.
