About

Do Frank Zappa and John Cage really belong on the classical piano album? To anyone who might be harbouring doubts, the answer is an emphatic ‘yes’, especially when the pianist is Marc-André Hamelin, whose own Hexensabbat brings to a riotous conclusion a programme of music – and instruments, in the case of Cage’s prepared piano – which radically disrupts Western traditions.

Reviews

Marc-André Hamelin’s joyful and cogent interpretation obviously revels in Zappa’s formidable keyboard challenges, as well as the similarly discursive though thicker textures throughout Salvatore Martirano’s Stuck on Stella. ... I share Hamelin’s deep admiration for the seriousness and substance distinguishing Yehudi Wyner’s large-scale piano opus Refrain, where the pianist’s projection of the music’s dramatic contrasts and idiomatic keyboard deployment are likely to set standards for future performers. ... In short, ‘Found Objects / Sound Objects’ may be Hamelin’s most uncompromising, most personal and most interesting release to date.  Jed Distler
