"A performer of near-superhuman technical prowess" (The New York Times), pianist Marc-Andre 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 19th, 20th and 21st centuries - in concert and on recordings - earning his place as a true icon of the piano. In 2023, the label released Hamelin's recording of Faure's Nocturnes & Barcarolles plus the four-hand Dolly suite, played with his wife Cathy Fuller. In 2022, Hyperion released a double album of C.P.E. Bach's Sonatas & Rondos, which received wide critical acclaim and chart success. Featuring nine original pieces, Hamelin's 2024 album, New Piano Works, is a survey of some of his own recent works, exhibiting his formidable skill as a composer-pianist whose music imaginatively taps into his musical forebears. Pressed on 180g vinyl.
