He can´t fool me. He plays like an angel, he is an angel.

Marc-Andre Hamelin plainly put, is the greatest living classical concert pianist on the planet- bar none! I've seen him perform live several times and have many of his CDs to boot. There isn't anything he can't play; from Bach to the most difficult contemporary pieces- and all from memory!

3:02-3:32 makes me wanna punch him in teh face cus its so good. not really hard technically but playing it as fluidly as he did... if u've ever worked with this piece, it's hard to keep from playing that section semi-marcato(not good). the only little thing in his performance that kinda gets on 2 me is the ending arpegios 4:09-4:25. liszt emphasized the main theme in that little passage with accents, but hamelin appreared to have run straight through it :(. overall, it was breathtaking

This is the best of all Un Sospiros on YouTube, IMO; Harold Bauer is # 2, followed by Arrau and Cliburn. This one captures the meaning of the title ( "A Sigh" ) better than any of them; bravo, Mr. Hamelin! You deserve to be better known.

I've listened to so many recordings of this. For me it's completely the best. Just another level of sensitivity - and live.

The tonal degradations, incredible dimenuendos and just the right amount of rubato. Stunning and breath taking. Ah! To have heard this live, I would have fallen off my chair.

I finally decided to take a leap and try to play this one even though I thought it was way above my head... it's coming along pretty well, but I have less than half of it done and I've practiced it for at least 20 hours so far... hard piece... the hardest part for me has been the one handed three octave arpeggios...
