The transcendental difficulties of Beethoven’s Hammerklavier sonata will always deter all but the greatest pianists of the day, with only a select few able to master it’s formidable musical, emotional and technical challenges. Marc-André Hamelin is of course very much of their number, and his performance-one which relishes all the work’s glory and grandeur-is simply stupendous.
