Hammerklavier
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
***
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.
