Savannah Music Festival LIVE - 221 - Marc-André Hamelin
Original air date: Week of September 7, 2009
In order to successfully perform a piano recital whose program includes works by Haydn, Chopin and Godowsky, one's technique must be formidable enough to blend accuracy and rhythmic precision with passion and insight in order to achieve moments of purity and colossal soundscapes. In this episode of SMF Live, we listen to a recital by the amazing pianist Marc-André Hamelin, performed in the rotunda at the Telfair Museum of Art as part of our 2009 festival. Mr. Hamelin's musicianship and virtuosity has been recognized worldwide for its originality and technical brilliance.
