| Editorial Review: | ||
| In The Composer-Pianists: Hamelin and The Eight, Robert Rimm writes about eight legendary, enigmatic, and interrelated composer-pianists of the instrument’s golden age and goes on to consider their present-day advocate and astounding interpreter Marc-André Hamelin. Rimm portrays The Eight—Alkan, Busoni, Feinberg, Godowsky, Medtner, Rachmaninov, Scriabin, and Sorabji—as "the piano’s aural sensualists" and explores the relationships among their music, their music-making, their ideas, and their lives. Marc-André Hamelin’s dynamic, fluid playing and engaging personality immediately impressed Rimm upon their first encounter. Their collaboration took the form of a series of long interviews from 1996 through 1998 as well as a bestselling compact disc, Marc-André Hamelin Plays the Composer-Pianists. Readers will find this book a rich and unusual guide to an iconoclastic, eclectic repertoire. Written by a pianist and teacher who has championed their work in writing and recording, the volume includes rare photographs and concludes with an extensive bibliography, listings of the complete solo piano works of The Eight, and discographies of current solo piano recordings. |
