Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Marc-André Hamelin is a noted pianistic dazzler, but what he does in Kaleidoscope is sheer delight. Twenty piano miniatures, some never previously recorded and all relatively unknown, may sound as indigestibly rich as a concert of encores, but Hamelin has chosen and arranged them with such care that they slip down like fine champagne. There are real curiosities here, notably Offenbach's tune, which became the hymn of the American marines, and Felix Blumenfeld's study for solo left hand, which has an extraordinarily spacious grace. And there are some marvellous jokes, including one of Hamelin's own homages to Scarlatti, which comes equipped with all the Scarlatti mannerisms but stands them wickedly askew. There is also great beauty here--viz Moszkowski's Chopinesque Etude in A Flat Major and Josef Hofmann's Kaleidoscop Op. 40 No. 4, whose fistfuls of notes are brandished with pearly brilliance. Everything on this irresistible CD has wit and charm: you listen with a smile on your face.--Michael Church

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW!, 20 Mar 2004

By A Customer

I can't believe that only a month ago I didn't know Marc Andre Hamelin. I have been listening to classical music seriously for 6 years (i'm 24). I've went through most of the recordings of all the great pianists of the beginning of the century - Rubinstein, Richter, Hoffmann, Gilels, Gould... you name them - everyone. A couple of months ago I picked up a disc by Pletnev (in carnegie hall), and became convinced that Pletnev is the most serious (though boring) pianist today (well, I like Schiff too). But I was disappointed that there is no pianist of the scale of Hofmmann or Richter or Gould living today. There will never be another Gould, and never another Hofmann, but when I heard for the first time Hamelin's Kaleidoscope, I was overjoyed.

What a pianist !!!!!

I bought 4 more of his discs, and they are all my favourite discs. I admire him for his disc repertoire - not what you'd find with Perahia or Kissin, recycling all the old tunes - but fresh and exciting pieces, and boy, can this man play....

I saw that this disc had no reviews, and that amazon promises to dispatch it within 2 weeks, which means not many know of this disc, and that's why i decided to share this secret. Listen also to his performance of la campanella on the paganini etudes disc (different cd).

Enjoy!
