2015 BBC Music Magazine Awards Nomination: Instrumental Category
'Busoni was one of the great free-thinkers of 20th-century music, with a virtuoso's understanding of the piano. As with Liszt, it's easy to concentrate on the scintillating, barn-storming elements and miss the serious thinker. Marc-Andre Hamelin finds both the necessary swagger and the strange, almost recondite poetry - dazzling in parts, ultimately haunting' - Awards Jury

‘Hamelin mastered its rising and falling cascades of scales, biting rhythms and thunderous textures as though he was Busoni himself’ (The Birmingham News, USA)

Marc-André Hamelin is indisputably the king of Busoni pianists. He triumphantly masters the extraordinary technical difficulties and contrapuntal complexities this composer presents. This generously priced triple album offers most of Busoni’s mature works and the widest selection of pieces from the Klavierübung so far recorded, many of them for the first time.
