About the artist Marc-Andre Hamelin

Born in Montreal, Quebec, Marc-André Hamelin began his piano studies at the age of five and was nine years old when he won the top prize in a Canadian music competition. His father, a pharmacist by trade who was also a pianist, introduced him to the works of Alkan, Godowsky, and Sorabji when he was still young. He studied at the Ecole Vincent d'Indy in Montreal and then at Temple University in Philadelphia. His flourishing international career sees him appearing throughout North America, Europe, Australasia and the Far East. He made his name playing rare and adventurous repertoire, now his output also embraces music from the classical and romantic periods. 'One of the most adventurous and certainly the most courageous pianists of recent times.' - International Piano Quarterly.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Hamelins playing has superb authority and presence, and when required the greatest delicacy too. His amazing technical skill is completely at the service of the music. This is a major release (Classic CD) - Penguin Guide 4 star 'Hamelin commands the feverish intensity, the manic vision, wide dynamic range and fastidious pedalling that Scriabin must have. There are other fine Scriabin cycles and, of course, celebrated accounts of single sonatas from Richter and others, but of newer cycles Hamelin's must now be a first recommendation'
