Marc-André Hamelin | 20. Chopin and his Europe International Music Festival 

BRAVISSIMO!!!❤👏🏻💐 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I lack words to describe my impression from this recital... every piece evokes so many emotions, especially that Mazurka. I'm extremely grateful for this broadcast!!! Thank You, Maestro Hamelin and Chopin Institute team!!!❤❤❤❤❤

Bravissimo, His Schumann, and the Ravel left me in awe. I must admit, although less passionate to me, than other performers, the total clarity in execution and his way of absolutely sticking to the text, while still totally being able to play freely and inspiringly. I must admit, he is truly a great performer to me, by doing so. In my opinion the best Gaspard of his… never in a rush, although in forward motion… Bravissimo! Furthermore huge thanks to @chopininstitute for the broadcast!!

I'm going to go to his recital in Tokyo in 4 days. Can't wait!

Exceptional, Hamelin is at his best here.

The Yamaha CFX has remarkable clarity and is not deficient in the bass as Yamaha concert grands were back in the '80s. I quite like the sound of it.

One can discuss tempo, interpretation ... But the clearness of voices is I N C R E D I B LE ! Outstanding! Hamelin is a revelation in that respect

I often listen to Scriabin he plays at home but never seen his recital. Thank you for giving me this valuable experience, Chopin Institute !

Hamelin's Mazurka sounds inspired by Szymanowski's Mazurka Op. 50: No. 3. All in MAH's unique musical language. Touching tribute to his dear friend.

I was here. Beautiful ❤

Listened live to the second half of the recital and it was a marvellous experience. Hamelin is a true Master!😍

The same program he gave a concert in Tbilisi two month ago. it really was magical! Thank you for this beautiful concert Chopin Institute !

Jeszcze jakby jakby jakość dźwięku jesli chodzi o transmisję bitów byłaby wyższa to naprawdę byłoby wspaniale. Obecne ustawienia są wystarczające może do dialogów, na muzykę to zdecydowanie za mało.

Wyborny koncert. Porwało mnie wykonanie Sonaty Dukasa - w przypadku transmisji bezcenna jest możliwość obserwowania wirtuozerii mistrza w zbliżeniu. Schumann - spokojny, przyjemny, chociaż na tle sąsiadów wydawał mi się nieco monotonny. Ale "Gaspard de la nuit" znowu mnie zachwycił. Może dlatego, że Ravel to moja ulubiona epoka muzyczna! I na bis wzruszająca Mazurka in memoriam, która pokazała jak wspaniale muzyka potrafi wyrazić uczucie straty i żalu... Jak zwykle dziękuję organizatorom za przygotowanie wszystkich transmisji - świetny pomysł i kapitalna realizacja!

Un grand bravo à ce merveilleux musicien 🎉

❤

MY HERO!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Bravo!❤

Per scrivere la Sonata in mi b min ci voleva un eroe e per suonarla così bene ci voleva un altro eroe. Fantastico Hamelin!

Es una pena que con tanto anuncio, se pierda continuidad de la obra...

Listen to any of Pogorelich's versions of _"Gaspard de la nuit"_ in comparison to which this sounds a bit anemic.
