GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE; DIAPASON D'OR
'The wizardry of Grainger's invention is never out of step with Hamelin's fingers - all 20 (or so it seems) of them. Try and keep your lower jaw in place as [he] negotiates Grainger's 'cakewalk smasher' In Dahomey' (The Independent)
'Hamelin's pleasure in this repertoire - challenging to the pianist, delightful to the listener - is manifest in every bar' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Ici l'interprete se doit de broyer l'ivoire, et l'étourdissante technique de Marc-André Hamelin s'y entend a merveille! Si l'on ajoute son extreme délicatesse de toucher, son phrasé lyrique et chaleureux trouvant d'instinct le chemin du coeur, on comprendra que ces prouesses pianistiques laissent pantois, ému au point que l'on ne sait plus tres bien si l'on rit, mais on tout cas pris aux tripes' (Diapason, France)
'This hugely enjoyable recital is a distinguished addition to Hamelin's already remarkable discography' (Hi Fi News)
'Grainger demanda tanto una agilidad sorprendente como gran delicadeza en el fraseo, virtudes ambas que posee el solista canadiense' (CD Compact, Spain)
'One of the most brilliant and sensitive young pianists we have on the scene today. His technique is formidable: the more fiendishly difficult a piece is, the more spectacularly he plays it. Yet … what sets him apart as a pianist is his uncanny ability to melt your heart' (Fi, USA)
'Marc-André Hamelin's Grainger disc must stand as one of the best that could ever possibly be made. The powers Hamelin has at his disposal are endless. A colossal musician' (Soundscapes, Australia)
'Definitely a contender for piano record of the year' (San Francisco Examiner)
Recording details: January 1996; St George's, Brandon Hill, United Kingdom; Produced by Andrew Keener; Engineered by Tony Faulkner; Release date: October 1996;
