  • Marc-André Hamelin is a Canadian classical pianist whom I have admired since my early days of classical piano in elementary and middle school. This is his remarkable playing of Alexis Weissenberg's arrangement “En Avril A Paris”!

    One of the most underrated aspects of piano playing: "expressivity". This man embodies it. Someone might be impressed by his superb technique and fluency with this instrument. But the way he conveys so much emotion with tempo, touch, volume control... This is something you cannot teach. And at the same time this is the greatest thing in music.

    The craziest thing about this transcription is that Alexis Weissenberg - when recording this arrangement - went by the pseudonym "Mr. Nobody". He didn't want people to know it was him!
    Thankfully Hamelin painstakingly transcribed Weissenberg's recording BY EAR and then popularized it for a new audience.
    I'm happy to see this video getting so many views! This work deserves more attention - it's on Hamelin's "In a State of Jazz" album, alongside other great Jazzy works.

    Many years ago, maybe 30 years ago, I heard Hamelin give a recital in the Wigmore Hall, the program was all obscure virtuoso music, Godowsky and stuff like that, and it he was playing from sheets of music as it was being recorded for a CD. At one point as he was playing, the sheet in front of him fell off the piano and floated gracefully to the floor. Of course he knew the music and he just carried on as if nothing had happened.

When you are so incredibly gifted at your instrument I consider it the duty of every performer to NOT play what everyone else is playing and instead play what others don't dare to touch because it is so difficult or because they don't think it is worth the time it takes to learn the piece.
    He unearthes so many gems and then when he does go to the familiar repertoire it's equally amazing. His Haydn for example is exemplary.
