Thank you

Right in the middle of covid - probably why audience very few

[@sophelet]

Brilliant performance! Hearing Hamelin's cadenza reminded me that Beethoven was exceptionally renowned for his skill in improvisation. I wonder what he would have thought of Hamelin's cadenza?

[@jedrzejsteszewski6694]

Cadenzas (there were two of them) are amazingly smart and enjoyable, for my taste. MAH pushes the envelope again 🙂

Thought that was Bob Ross Following Hamelin there for a second :D

Thank you! Would you be able to upload the recital he played there a few days earlier on 10/5/2021? He played C.P.E. Bach and Beethoven. It doesn't seem to be showing up in the archives for the Moscow Philharmonic website

[@johnmusic1923]

I'll upload it by tomorrow and report back when it's done.

[@hamelinlover]

@@johnmusic1923 AWESOME!

[@johnmusic1923]

What piece did he play after Piano Concerto No. 5?

[@jedrzejsteszewski6694]

Prokofiev: Sarcasm Op. 17 No. 1. Great upload - thanks! Hamelin cadenzas in No.4 Concerto are extremely smart and entertaining.

[@chowkammoonckm82]

Did he play both concertos no.4 & 5 in the same concert?

[@johnmusic1923]

yes

What cadenza is that?

[@_melzargard]

He wrote it himself

It's his cadenza composed back in 2007. It's unfortunate that the score is not available now at The Sorabji Archive, but I remember that, once in his Twitter, he mentioned he will publish his cadenzas for piano concertos. I can't wait for the volume! [Update: Apr. 19, 2022] It's finally announced to be published! It turns out that the volume consists of cadenzas for Beethoven 1st to 4th concerti!!

I believe that the orchestra is the Svetlanov SO; am I correct?

Yes you are

@@johnmusic1923 I see you wrote all the information now, very well. 👍

[@telephilia]

If the composer wrote a cadenza, generally think we should use his, especially someone like Beethoven. Before Beethoven, cadenzas were generally left to the performer. Even Mozart didn't write many cadenzas, often because he was the first performer of his own works and at that time there was no such thing as the canon.

Agreed in competitions. But in public performances it doesn’t really matter.its all for show in public performances
