Franz Liszt:
Hexaméron ‘Morceau de concert’, S392
Ernani de Verdi, ‘[Deuxieme] Paraphrase de Concert’, S432
Réminiscences de Norma de Bellini, ‘Grande fantaisie’, S394

Sigismond Thalberg:
Grande fantaisie sur des motifs de Don Pasquale, Op. 67
Fantaisie sur des themes de Moise, Op. 33

If, as Liszt himself dubbed it, ‘Hexaméron’ is ‘a monster’, it’s a monster which certainly holds no terrors for Marc-André Hamelin, and the encounter between them makes for some thrilling pianism. The remainder of the recital highoctane transformations of nineteenth-century operatic favourites is every bit as electrifying, from a musician who never ceases to astonish whatever the repertoire.
