The Washington Post wrote that pianist Marc-André Hamelin’s “technical facility is breathtaking: The piano quivers and trembles under his thunderous assault, but his sensitivity is also superb.” These qualities are at the fore in a program that explores the hazy harmonies and delicate timbres of Debussy, the power and poetry of Liszt, and music by other master pianist-composers.
