Marc-André Hamelin, Vladimir Juroswki and the London Philharmonic Orchestra recording in Henry Wood Hall, LondonA typical release—in so far as there can ever be such a thing—from Marc-André Hamelin, combining a stimulating, unexpected coupling; brilliant new light shed on the familiar; and pianism of the very highest calibre.
