  Amazon.com: Marc-André Hamelin Live at Wigmore Hall: Music: Marc-André Hamelin,Charles-Valentin Alkan,Ludwig van ...   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Hamelin's performance of Alkan's Beethoven 3rd is a remarkable feat of the recording age.
In Hamelin, Alkan has a faithful performer that is able to create the effects of a full-scale orchestra on the piano using a mere five fingers.
Hamelin has no equal as an interpreter of Alkan; he inhabits the overheated world of this strange proto-Lisztian figure with a completeness that combines a total mastery of its fearsome technical challenges with an innate understanding of its sometime elusive emotional content.

 Working Dogs Book Store - Ives: Concord Sonata; Barber: Piano Sonata
Hamelin not only finds that level of communication, but he also plays with such security that there is never a doubt that he is in full control and THAT puts the listener in the plane of hearing the poetry.
Hamelin has a surplus of technique for a moderately taxing piece like this, and I felt he would surely have more fun with it than Horowitz did.
I question some of Hamelin's use of a leggiero touch in odd places, as I often do in his recordings, but I think as well as he plays, and as original a conception as he has of this piece, he's entitled to his distinctive quirks.

Theoretical Descent Tree for Charles and Agathe Amlaw
I have listed Charles (m.Adaline Dumont) as a son of Charles and Agathe, this seems likely but not certain.
The fact that he and Joseph (m.Sophia) lived in such close proximity and shared a common trade, boatman, seems to imply a relationship of some sort, they also both moved to Manchester NH at about the same time and were both returned to Clinton Co. for burial.

Hamelin, 21, in his first Olympic event, got a taste of how nasty short-track can get when he was jostled by a Chinese skater who was apparently clearing the way for a teammate to win a medal in the men's 1,500-metre final.
Hamelin, from Ste-Julie, Que., was cruising in third place with just over a lap to go when the two Chinese cut in front of him.
Hamelin, who was Canada's short-track skater of the year in 2005, will also be on the Canadian relay team that will try to win gold for a third consecutive Olympics.

 Alkan: Symphony For Solo Piano, Etc / Marc-andré Hamelin | ArkivMusic
Hamelin brings these off with the utmost in unfudged, decisive precision while still micromanaging the dynamics, the balances within each chord, and spacing of each note.
Hamelin's fingers make every bloody quaver (be it hemi, demi, or semi) sound without losing the music's paragraphic grip or sacrificing tonal control for one nanosecond.
One day Hamelin's growing Alkan legacy will be spoken of in the same breath as Schnabel's Beethoven, Gould's Bach, Katchen's Brahms, Horowitz's Scriabin, Gieseking's Debussy, Michelangeli's Ravel, and Larrocha's Albéniz.

Marc-André Hamelin is known for his extraordinary technique that allows him to play the most difficult, demanding music with an ease and comfort level others, even many with admired technical abilities, can't match.
Where Mayer and Hamelin seem to have an edge is in the sharp 'American' outlines of the quicker rhythms.
Hamelin possesses the skill to handle the Ives flourishes and filigrees, the odd notes, the clusters, but more importantly he understands that this is not "Bad Boy" music but a highly successful attempt to push musical expressiveness to new heights.

Hamelin does full justice to the lyricism, lightness and grace of the music, adding a subtle palette of tints and a lacelike filigree of touch that makes the moment all the more magical.
Hamelin rushes things in the more energetic moments and loses some of the music’s charm in the process.
Hamelin delights in the bounciness of the work – playful, athletic and thoroughly Russian-sounding – while not overwhelming it.
