5.0 out of 5 stars An essential for all piano lovers, 19 April 2004
By S. Dale (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This chocolate box of a CD is a rare treat, even for Hamelin's eclectic discography. Using Busoni's ambitious Bach Fantasia as a hub, Hamelin spins outwards exploring some of the most interesting and under-rated music written for the paino, exploring some lesser known pieces by the familiar composers Rachmaninoff and Scriabin. Contrasting the virtuosity of Godowsky and Hamelin's own etudes with the reflective serenity of some Feinberg, Sorabji and Scriabin, the record displays a sophistication rarely found in piano compilations. When enjoyed alongside the tie-in book "Hamelin and the Eight" the experience intensifies as a greater understanding of each piece and its context is created. Needless to say Hamelin's playing is exemplary - from the blazing technique required in his own etudes through the finest filigree of the Sorabji Pastiche to the rich glowing chords of the Feinberg-Bach transcription, not to mention the glorious Medtner Improvisation (a real highlight) which seems to incorporate all these. As usual Hyperion lives up to its reputation for providing one of the clearest and most beautiful sounds of any classical label - the mid and upper registers ring out bell-like while the bass is rich and warm. All together this is an outstanding disc, for the variety of the pieces and as an introduction to some less well known composer-pianists.
