About Marc-André Hamelin in Recital
In his first-ever solo recital in Sydney he takes on two of the biggest sonatas in the repertoire – the might of Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Sonata and the massive scope of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No.29 – in a concert that is a showcase of undisputed heavyweights of the piano.
Beethoven’s Hammerklavier, as it’s known, opens brightly, with big, satisfying major chords. It’s the longest piano sonata that Beethoven wrote, and a huge test for the performer, who must capture its deeply personal moments of introspection and bright extroversion with equal conviction. If Hammerklavier is triumphant, Rachmaninov’s Second Piano Sonata is intense and moody — a thrilling emotional wrestling match. And music by Medtner, a contemporary of Rachmaninov, rounds out a powerful concert.
Hamelin is at the height of his powers, and his debut Sydney recital is an absolute must for piano lovers.
