My constant desire to compose music is actually the urge within me to give tonal expression to my thoughts &#; I have no sympathy with the composer who produces works according to preconceived formulas or preconceived theories. Or with the composer who writes in a certain style because it is the fashion to do so. Great music has never been produced in that way &#; A composer&#;s music should express the country of his birth, his love affairs, his religion, the books which have influenced him, the pictures he loves. It should be the product of the sum total of a composer&#;s exper
Hamelin Kills It In Medtner 2 and Rachmaninov 3
Hyperion already has excellent recordings of both of these concertos, from Demidenko (Medtner) and Hough (Rachmaninov), but as they saying goes, &#;greatness is its own justification,&#; and this is a great disc. At eighty-two minutes, it&#;s also a very generous one. In a way, these concertos belong together. Not only were the composers friends, but both works, while cloaked in romantic virtuoso garb, are heavily symphonic in structure and syntax.
That makes Hamelin an ideal advocate. He is, of course, an exceptional keyboard virtuoso, but one of a very special type. The harder the music is to play, the easier he makes it sound. You can take the technical security completely for granted and focus entirely on matters of form and expression. In music that exists largely for virtuoso display, where a sense of strain is part of the point, this very quality can make his interpretations sound somewhat slick; but where the atrocious difficulty of the solo writing isn&#;t the primary focus and serves a larger purpose, as here, he is incomparable. Hamelin isn&#;t just a technical wizard&#;he&#;s a smart one.
