Having recently discovered some very enthusiastic Hamelin fans among the blog readers I decided to add these performances to the blog, even though I personally don't think there is anything terribly special about them (besides Hamelin's predictably very polished pianism, of course).
The Fraser Studio recital includes three short interviews in which Hamelin speaks about his compositions as well as about the Liszt sonata. I thought these short discussions show Hamelin to be a very charming speaker.
The Mozart concerto comes from a benefit concert, and the orchestra (according to the broadcast announcement) included musicians from the Boston Symphony along with musicians from "other American orchestras" (whatever the latter means).
