Hamelin deserves an Olympic gold medal

on: September 24, 2007, 07:00:29 PM

'Hamelin deserves an Olympic gold medal for this extreme musical sport: I doubt that any other living pianist could carry off the work with such secure bedazzlement, not to mention infusing it with refulgent tone and downright charm' (Classic FM Magazine *****)

To the naysayers, I invite you (Jacob) to articulate your disapproval of this undoubtedly great man's artistry and sportsmanship.
