Canadian virtuoso pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin wrote his Etudes over the space of 25 years, and whilst they may display his prodigious technique they are also very much character pieces.
Accessible and challenging by turns, on the one hand they pay tribute to great composers such as Rachmaninov, Debussy and Chopin. On the other hand, they are superb examples of the old tradition of "pianist-composer", now reborn.
A must for all lovers of flambouyant and reflective pianism.
