Hamelin is able to make you feel you are in a concert hall and he has the arduous task of putting all these instruments together to sound like a concerto for orchestra and solo piano.

 Marc-André Hamelin - Beyond Virtuosity
His father, Gilles Hamelin, was a pharmacist by profession but an ardent amateur pianist and collector of rare scores, especially those from the transition period at the turn of the last century.
Hamelin believes it’s essential to understand what was in the composer’s mind during the sometimes painful process of creating a work.
Hamelin is in a good position to talk about respecting scores, since he himself composes, although not often enough for his liking due to time constraints.

 Hamelins of the Grondines
The Hamelin family helped fund the voyage, according to the story my father Rodney told me. In return, the family supposedly was granted a tract of land at what became Grondines, 35 miles south and west of Quebec along the St. Lawrence River, about a third of the way to what would become Montreal.
Louis and Francois Hamelin were brothers, born in St. Mathurin de la Dagueniere, a small community on the edge of Angers on the River Maine, at the confluence of the Loire, in the ancient French province of Anjou.
Some genealogists insist that Nicolas Hamelin, father of the brothers according to the 19th-century genealogist Tanguay, was born in Quebec around 1620, and married there in 1640.

 Straight Dope Staff Report: Was the Pied Piper of Hamelin a child molester?
The official website of the German town of Hamelin makes no mention of it, which is no surprise, since they still make a ton of hay on the legend and have an official town "Pied Piper" to this day.
Hamelin historian Martin Humberg states that around 1300 a stained glass window was added to the central market church in Hamelin showing "an old figure of a man in colored clothes and surrounded by a crowd of children." The inscription around this window has been reconstructed and reads:
There are many other references to the story in Hamelin itself, including a street named "Bungelosen Strasse," literally "the street without the sound of drums," allegedly so named because dancing was forbidden in that street in memory of what had happened to the children.

 Amazon.ca: Paganini Studies/Schubert Marc: Music: Liszt,Hamelin   (Site not responding. Last check: )
hamelin is entirely up to the technical challenges, though i found an imbalance in his approach: the delicate works or passages, in particular the "campanella" etude (adapted from a paganini violin concerto) are utterly ravishing, with a delicacy and fluency of touch that is like nothing i've heard in these works before.
While he himself is the last person to be blamed for it, Hamelin's version often gives the impression of a lightning fast, relaxed ride down a 12-lane interstate.
Hamelin next release should be a disc of Symaniowski peices followed by more discs of Schumann, Kapustin and Schubert sonatas.

 SoundStage! Marc-André Hamelin - Rzewski
Hamelin's pianism is not simply restricted to an ability to play faster than everybody else.
Hamelin is the only other pianist to take up Rzewski's challenge; whereas the composer produces an angry, corrosive outburst, Hamelin's is more considered, perhaps more "objective".
Hamelin's has the advantage of being better recorded (arguably the best of the four and up to Hyperion's usual high standards), cheaper and easier to find.

 SoundStage! Marc-André Hamelin - Ferrucio Busoni
Like his friend Mahler, he wanted to be known as a composer, but financial circumstances necessitated performing as a means of earning a living (and, in both men's cases, of helping support their families back home).
Marc-André Hamelin, another piano Titan, has made something of a specialty out of performing (and recording) the "unperformable" and the obscure; this is perhaps his most mainstream recording yet, and he enters a field which, if not exactly crowded, is certainly not empty.
Hamelin is happy to relegate himself to the role of accompanist -- this must be a rather unrewarding movement for the soloist, although the music is extremely taxing physically -- and Elder builds the setting of Adam Oelenschläger's mystical Hymn from Aladdin superbly, leading to a magnificent final peroration.

 *Ø*  Wilson's Almanac free daily ezine | Who was the Pied Piper of Hamelin? | Pied Piper Rattenfänger ...
The burghers of Hamelin refused to pay the piper, so in revenge he began piping his charming song and the town’s children, entranced, followed him to a mountain cave, which as if by magic sealed itself shut.
There are historical records of a stained glass window in the church of Hamelin that dates from before 1300, depicting the children’s exodus.
Somehow, 130 of the town’s children were taken away, and the grief imprinted itself on the village’s soul, enough for the town church to have a stained-glass window installed that showed many children being led away by a person unknown.

Hamelin brought out all the heated melancholy of Liszt's vision, nowhere more than in the thunderous chords of the finale, as dark and gaudy as the flames that consume the errant priestess.

Hamelin has technique to spare, so Schumann's three-part harmony and spinning arabesques prove no obstacle to the fluency of his vision.
When Hamelin decides to milk a phrase, as in Des Abends or Fabel from Fantasiestuecke, the effect is lulling romance, a nocturne of captivating beauty.

 The Pied Piper of Hamelin
The citizens of Hamelin were happy folk, living in their solid stone houses with sturdy roofs above them to keep out winter snows and summer rains, drinking their hearty beers and gathering together often to celebrate their good fortune and their great wealth.
That night the citizens of Hamelin slept peacefully, not once waking to the sound of rats gnawing on the wooden legs of their beds, or the feel of a fat rat landing solidly on their mattress as yet another fell through the roof.
The story (Hamelin version, 67.3) ends saying that the door closed, a rockslide barricaded the entrance, something about a lame boy telling all the adults what had happened, yadda, yadda, the children were lost forever, harsh lesson learned and the "lesson" was passed from father to son over the generations and the centuries.
