Hamelin - Liszt Piano Sonata (2011)
1CD / Publicado: 2011 / Flac
Pianist Marc-André Hamelin"s unprecedented technical acumen, huge sonority, and unflappable control of the piano is everywhere evident in this Liszt recital,
along with new-found reserves of passion and freedom. Listen to the minute inflections of phrase and changes of color that imbue the Bénédiction"s middle
section with gorgeous cantabiles and subtle harmonic pointing. To hear the B-A-C-H Fantasie and Fugue"s taxing two-handed arpeggios and gnarly counterpoint
executed with stupefying ease and white-hot intensity is better experienced than described, to say nothing of the high-octane bass lines and staggeringly precise
chord playing. Venezia e Napoli"s three pieces are beyond belief insofar as Hamelin"s multi-calibrated nuances and transcendental technique. Just sample the
Tarantella"s rapid two-handed alternating chords, rapid runs, and inhumanly even repeated notes, and you"ll hear what I mean.
