"Vilken underbar fingertoppselegans och vilken spänst i rytmiken"

(Arbetarbladet)



Epitomizing the evolution of the Classical sonata, Haydn’s iconic contributions to the genre, some sixty in total, have
in some respects become victims of their own perfection, ignored by all but a handful of today’s leading pianists and
relegated to the classroom. But in the hands of Maestro Hamelin these crystalline marvels are released from such
transient shackles—to wondrous effect.

The programme is varied: a tour through Haydn’s ‘experimental’ and ‘popularist’ styles culminates with two of the
acknowledged ‘great’ sonatas, Nos 50 and 52. And how suited this all is to the performer: Hamelin’s devotion to
virtuosic innovation—as reflected in his astonishing discography—is so firmly rooted in his passion for a sense of
pianistic genealogy that these seminal works seem entirely in keeping with his more pyrotechnical reputation.
