Marc-Andre Hamelin - CPE Bach: Sonatas & Rondos - LP
$54.99
A Dazzling Tribute on 180g Vinyl Double LP!
The music of CPE Bach makes complex stylistic demands of the performer like little else of its time, the extraordinary drama and intensity tempered by Enlightenment elegance and the influence of the Baroque. Marc-André Hamelin's performances set new standards in this endlessly absorbing repertoire.
2 LP set on 180g vinyl.
Throughout the programme, Hamelin's delight and relish are highly infectious...In short, I cannot think of a better introduction to CPE Bach on the modern piano.
Hamelin is the kind of modern pianist with the firepower to make the most of Emanuel Bach's sudden switches of mood and timbre, and the unexpected endings, often at the most exhilarating speeds.
There's no one better than Hamelin to show how this music should be played on the modern piano.
Marc-André Hamelin's stunning virtuosity, sheer musicality and sense of drama showcase these magnificent works at their best. The bright-sounding Steinway and perfect acoustic all add up to a winning combination.
Hamelin, a musician of superlative gifts, makes us feel as if the composer has returned to Earth, discovered the glories of the modern piano, and is improvising the music in front of us.
