_____________________

Marc-André Hamelin’s album boldly unites Frank Zappa and John Cage with classical repertoire, challenging conventional boundaries of piano music. For those questioning their place in such a program, the answer is a resounding yes. Both composers, in their own ways, revolutionized sound and structure—Zappa through his genre-defying inventiveness, Cage through his exploration of silence and the prepared piano. Hamelin’s virtuosic performance ties these radical voices together, culminating in his own Hexensabbat, a dazzling finale that celebrates experimentation and the spirit of musical rebellion within the classical tradition.

Marc-André Hamelin (b. 1961), hailed by The New York Times as “a performer of near-superhuman technical prowess,” is a globally acclaimed pianist celebrated for his masterful artistry and fearless exploration of both standard and rare repertoire. An exclusive Hyperion Records artist with eighty-nine albums, he has earned widespread acclaim for recordings spanning Fauré, C. P. E. Bach, Bolcom, and his own compositions. His 2024 release New Piano Works showcases nine original pieces, confirming his stature as a leading composer-pianist. Based in Boston, the Montréal-born musician has received numerous honors, including seven Juno Awards, eleven Grammy nominations, and the Order of Canada.
