Pf: Marc-André Hamelin Moscow State Philharmonic. 4th April 2013. Rachmaninov - Prelude Op.32 No.5 0:10 / Prelude Op.32 No.12 3:26 / Piano Sonata No.2, Op.36 6:00

Though this is certainly passionate playing, I think part of Hamelin's genius is that he maintains a degree of distance from the passion. It's a paradox that this slight removal--one might call it a refusal to wallow--makes the music all the more effective. He is also supremely lucid. His otherworldly technique allows him to clarify textures as few, if any, pianists can. For well over half a century, the second movement of this piece has moved me to tears. Hamelin's sense of dramatic time, his suspensions and releases, make the most beautiful performance I've ever heard. He won't be rushed, so the music seems to expand into all the world. The dramatic timing is also a main attribute of the outer movements. It makes the music breath, struggle, and conquer. Hamelin is one of our greatest musician/pianists--heck of a composer, too.

Agree. Some people view it as coldness and lack of feeling but it's certainly not that he's just an exceptional pianist and among my all time favourites if not the most

He is truly incredible. I'm going to see him perform the Paul Dukas Eb Minor Piano Sonata in a few weeks (as well as a world premiere work by John Oswald, Fauré's Op.26, Op.33 No.2, Op.107, Op.70, AND an original work by Hamelin called "Suite à l’ancienne"), I've never been more excited to see any performance in my entire life.

@@kingconcerto5860 I've heard him once. He didn't play knuckle-busting pieces. Instead, he gave us Beethoven's Sonata No. 30, one of the most subtle and beautiful pieces I know. In fact, it's my favorite sonata. I own way too many recordings of it and have heard numerous others. I can listen to two or three recordings of it back-to-back. I can name the best renditions of that wonderful piece on the fingers of one hand. Having only heard Hamelin in super-virtuoso works, I expected nothing. He captured and conveyed the spirituality of that sonata with near perfection. I was floored, and it remains one of the great experiences I've had in a concert or recital hall.

Very attentive observation. It reminds me of this masterclass where Rubinstein is teaching the Chopin Ballade No. 1 and explaining, that music is always 'noble'.

@@liegon Goodness! To be mentioned in the same sentence with Rubinstein is too much to take in. BTW, music is indeed noble. Even if we think some piece is trash, it moves somebody else. It speaks a language most of us can't speak, and it reaches parts of us that nothing else can. Thanks for the comment.

There's only a few years between the 2nd Sonata and the 3rd Concerto, but they feel a world apart. The 3rd Concerto is bombastic, frequently 'giocoso', showy, verbose, even. Not to decry it, it's a sensational piece of work, but it's a public piece, a 'statement' piece. This feels like Rachmaninov thinking aloud, sometimes tentative, as in the 1st movement's lovely 2nd subject, a figure that seems to unspool itself only with some wariness, as if improvised. The 1st movement is a masterpiece of organisation and condensed emotional charge, dark, haunted, malevolent even. Peals of monstrous bells, nightmarish scales, descending into some ultimate abyss. The 2nd movement is as close to weeping directly onto the page as you can find, I think, with Rachmaninov seeming to grieve for the lost world of simple Romantic sincerity as Modernism crashes and shrieks all around and the old order collapses. The cadenza runs out of control, the hands becoming separated, one finishing after the other. Nothing really fits anymore. The finale is brisk, with a whacking great tune to finish off, as only Rachmaninov has ever known how. Stand up and cheer stuff. Hamelin masters it all, seemingly without even trying, delivering the big moments with stunning authority and directness whilst curating individual gestures and thoughts like treasured memories. Amazing performance of an amazing piece. Hats off all round.

Ive never heard the GM prelude played like this before . I think it's the most impressive , memorable ,quiet ,slow voicing feels like Elgar transposed onto Rach's aesthetic . A paen but not the efulgent full of middle voices Slavic heavyhandedness that we normally hear in Rach playing. The g# minor always spectacular again here has the overdone ,easy intensity taken out .Strong but a new stylish way of playing Rachmaninoff. I've never wanted to write a pianist before(IngridHaebler deserves adoration). So I'll say it here -thanks for a better way to play Rach. A true Symphony for Piano !The 2nd Sonata would be impossible to play the way he played the 2 preludes . The business of the Sonata will give us intensity .Hamelin's sound and textures in the Sonata are wonderful .There is not the characteristic violence we always get in Rach. I don't agree with that but it's still a wonderful way to play Rach ! Someone else said it perfectly "he maintains a degree of distance from the passion "

Why does he play the simplified revised version? One would think a pianist of Hamelin's technical and mental capabilities would opt for the larger, more challenging original version of this piece, not the composer's thinned down reworking. Zoltan Kocsis' explosive account of the original (on CD) is still the benchmark account of the 2nd Sonata. There's a video of him performing it on YT. Freddy Kempf's CD recording is also excellent.

Ron Walker I wonder why Hamelin always gets such shit thrown his way because he doesn't go into Frenzied Histrionics when playing!? People say it makes his playing unexciting, Cerebral, Robotic. It's not how HE Performs on the stage IT'S HOW HIS HANDS PERFORM! And the Notes flow from his fingertips with the Fluidity of water in a stream... His Playing is Beyond Reproach and that he isn't Orgasmically Spasming in a Rhapsodic Thrall only means that you must focus ON THE MUSIC! Shouldn't that be the way it is anyway? If i wanted dancing I go see the ABT!
