Portrait – Concert – Interview. Recorded live at the Philharmonie Essen, 29 June 2007
“Artists and organizations hoping to revitalize classical music should look to Mr. Hamelin.” (New York Times)
“Hamelin in his documentary confirms Medtner as the 'most comfortable' of all composers for the pianist, the greatest of 'genius craftsmen'. …the Canadian has interesting things to say about the limitless nature of exploring the repertoire, up to and including the performance. He Debussy Preludes are mesmerising... His Haydn springs and gleams in the ornamentation, while the Chopin Third Sonata finds the total musician seeing through the torrents of notes to thematic and emotional truth.” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *****
