“A performer of near-superhuman technical prowess” (The New York Times), pianist Marc-André Hamelin is known worldwide for his unrivalled blend of consummate musicianship and brilliant technique in the great works of the established repertoire, as well as for his intrepid exploration of the rarities of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries. The Nocturnes and Barcarolles demonstrate Gabriel Fauré’s art at its most personal, progressing from early lyricism to the elusive, rarefied style of the later works. Hamelin’s performances combine exceptional subtlety with magisterial keyboard authority.
