Shostakovich Piano Concertos 1 & 2 on Vinyl!
On Sept. 13, Hyperion Records releases for the first time on vinyl Marc's tremendous 2003 recording of both piano concertos by Shostakovich. They've become 20th-century classics, and the first has long been one of Marc’s party pieces.
This special pressing is one of only a handful of titles that Hyperion is releasing on vinyl for the first time in over 35 years. Marc’s Shostakovich is one of only five titles specially chosen to celebrate this. The album has a limited supply of only 1,000 copies, so order yours today! Visit Hyperion Records.
Marc-André Hamelin — ‘Hammerklavier’
Piano Sonatas Op. 106, and Op. 2 No. 3
Marc releases his first Beethoven recording on October 4, on Hyperion Records. The transcendental difficulties of the ‘Hammerklavier’ — by far Beethoven’s longest piano sonata, and in his view also his finest — will always deter all but the greatest pianists of the day, with only a select few able to master its formidable musical, emotional and technical challenges.
Marc-André Hamelin is one of the few. His performance, which relishes all the work’s glory and grandeur, is simply stupendous.
