The Margaret Baxtresser Annual Piano Concert
September 28, 2010 • Tuesday • 7:30PM
"The music came first and the playing was revelatory, showing off facets of each composer that some pianists seem to forget… Hamelin commands tons – nay acres – of technique, all of it used to articulate, color and enliven the intriguing music at hand."
– Los Angeles Times
Marc-André Hamelin’s startlingly original blend of musicianship and virtuosity has earned him legendary status as a true avatar of the piano. His performances are remarkable for their freedom, originality, and prodigious mastery of the piano’s vast repertoire.
Long known for his bold exploration of the esoteric pianistic terrain of Alkan and Godowsky, Mr. Hamelin is equally at home with the established masterworks of Haydn, Mozart, Schumann, Brahms, Chopin and others.
