Hamelin, Please record more Chopin!
on: February 14, 2012, 06:44:55 AM
I know that in general Chopin seems to be overrated on these forums (for good reason) and you may be asking why we need more recordings, but I recently attended a concert with Marc-Andre Hamelin playing the Chopin concerto in f minor with the Seattle symphony, and WOW. I am familiar with Hamelin's work with 'obscure' composers and expected his playing to be... well, not so subtle enough for Chopin. Apparently I was wrong, he had a unique vision of the piece and played the phrases with great nuance.
Hamelin needs to make more Chopin recordings (especially the concertos). If anyone knows Hamelin's complete list of recordings I would very much appreciate it if they could post them. Thanks!

There are several discographies of his online - suggest you try the ones linked from his wikipedia entry:
