A wonderful recording, shows a sophisticated understanding of baroque ornamentation, improvisation and articulation.
Great every time. I listen to it most days. Highly recommend. A gem in the "neo-classical" wastes of "avant-garde music".
Hamelin's skill in balancing technique and expression shows. The foremost and best Ornstein interpreter, every piece no matter how short stands on its own in composition, emotion and listenability. The perfect blend between "modernism" and "romanticism", Ornstein (and by extension these recordings) stand today as a testament of expertise and perfection. Highly recommended.
Masterpiece of emotion and hope. An album that never fails to make me tear up. Simply a must hear
