"The Complete Rags" heißt eine neue CD mit Klaviermusik, die zwischen 1967 und 2015 entstanden ist. Der Komponist dieser Stücke ist der 1938 geborene Amerikaner William Bolcom. Er gilt als Grenzgänger zwischen E- und U-Musik, der auch zahlreiche Ragtimes komponiert hat. Der kanadische Hypervirtuose Marc-André Hamelin hat diese gerade für Hyperion eingespielt. Eine "pianistisch brillante Gesamtaufnahme", findet Kritikerin Susanne Stähr.

Marc-André Hamelin – William Bolcom: The Complete Rags (Hyperion) Jump to giveaway form New Classical Tracks - Marc-André Hamelin by “In 1985, I won the Carnegie Hall competition for American Music. One of the prizes was an invitation to the Cabrillo Festival in California, which is still going on, I think. And the two composers in residence that year happened to be Arvo Pärt and William Bolcom. So, I got to meet him.” Pianist Marc-André Hamelin not only got to meet Bolcom, the American composer whom he'd been admiring since he was 16, but he also got to make music with him. For his latest release, Hamelin has recorded a two-disc set of The Complete Rags of William Bolcom.   There's a lot of diversity in Bolcom's rags. Can you talk about the many moods that we experience throughout this two-disc set? “I think his first rags were a little more Joplin influenced, even though he was adding some touches of his own. “There is one of them, which is a kind of a joke, actually, it's called Brass Knuckles. And it was written in collaboration with the late William Albright. They decided to write that together one day as sort of an antidote to the overdelicate rags that they'd each been writing. It's just a joke, of course, but it's full of clusters and very violent piano writing. And that's why I put it at the very end of the two-disc set. “One of the rags from the Garden of Eden Suite, which is called the Serpent's Kiss and is actually one of the ones that's more often performed, asks for the same kind of percussive sound on the piano. And I couldn't do it fast enough. So I just developed a system of tongue clicks. And Bill was so amused by this during the recording session that he allowed me to keep that.” The opening rag, Eubie's Lucky Day, is dedicated to American pianist Eubie Blake, whom Bolcom considers to be his last great teacher. Can you tell us more about that correspondence? “The fact that he [Bolcom] connected with Eubie Blake is really extraordinary for him, because Bill knew so much about the history of American popular music, and, of course, performing with his wife, Joan Morris, during all these years. So, it was wonderful to be in contact with someone who was there from pretty much the very beginning. The first track of the album is called Tabby Cat Walk. Bolcom makes use of silence effectively in the piece, kind of catches us off guard, maybe the way a cat would. Can you tell us more about that? “They called it stopped time. The music would stop for a bar or two and then it would start again. But the rhythm would always be going on behind, regardless, you know? Just recently I got an early LP of his, which is just his own rags, and Tabby Cat Walk is on there. And of course, you know, I couldn't say it was a CD player because it was vinyl. But I asked myself the same thing. There's something going on here. But no, it's just written like that, and it's quite an effective little thing.” Is there another rag on this two-disc set you'd like to talk about? “Well, there's a couple, actually, that sort of distinguish themselves from the others because rather than having straight ragtime rhythm, they have more of a dotted rhythm. So, a ragtime would be ‘Da Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.' But a dotted rhythm would be more jagged. So, there's one called Knight Hubert, as in Eubie Blake, [also known as] Hubert Blake, and [an]other one is called the Brooklyn Dodge, and they're both wonderful and very swingy.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Marc-André Hamelin — Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Sonatas & Rondos (Hyperion) Jump to giveaway form   New Classical Tracks - Marc-André Hamelin by “They shouldn't expect anything quite as exciting as drum and bass. Give it a minute or two, because the riches that some music offers may not be apparent at first,” said pianist Marc-André Hamelin, encouraging you to check out his latest two-CD compilation, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Sonatas & Rondos. “I can tell you how it all started. My wife, Cathy Fuller, was a classical radio host in Boston in 2008 or 2009. She chose to play a little Sonata in E Minor, which is not even eight minutes for the three movements,” he said. “Suddenly, the composer decides to finish the piece. It just cuts off in the middle of a phrase. “This was absolutely what Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote, and I thought this was worth exploring. I started sight reading at the keyboard, and I was just fascinated by how daring and delightful it was.” Can you talk about how this composer was the first one you performed? “The first time I was on a stage was at a local competition in Montreal when I was 9. I played a group of five pieces, but the first piece was a little work in G Major. The score said it was by J.S. Bach. It has since been determined that it was composed by C.P.E. Bach. So in essence, C.P.E. Bach was the first composer I ever played in public. “I just strolled to the piano confidently and played my music from the very beginning. From that instant I realized that I just didn't have any kind of stage fright.” Did you write a piece based on the Solfeggio in C minor? “Yeah, I've written three pieces specifically for the player piano. It's like Conlon Nancarrow, who devoted his whole life to the player piano. It was partly inspired by him and the fact that I grew up with a player piano as a medium because my grandparents had one.” Can you give us examples of the evolving mechanics of the keyboard through C.P.E. Bach's compositions? “There was one piece that was written for ‘A' [his] clavichord where, while the title is very explicit, he is bidding farewell to an instrument that he had owned for decades. He was giving it as a present to somebody. This piece is slow and wistful. “He said in the letter to the future owner, this piece is absolutely impossible to play on any other instrument. It would be interesting if it had survived, which I don't believe it has. If you played the clavichord, as I have tried to do, it's not easy. You get a sense of what this piece could sound like.” To hear the rest of my conversation, click on the extended interview above, or download the extended podcast on iTunes or wherever you get your podcasts.

Erstmals ist der kanadische Pianist Marc-André Hamelin für sein neues Soloalbum mit Klaviermusik von Franz Schubert ins Aufnahmestudio gegangen. Eingespielt hat er vier Impromptus und die letzte Klaviersonate.

Diese Woche ist der frankokanadische Pianist Marc-André Hamelin zweimal in München zu hören: am 20./21. Februar im Akademiekonzert der Bayerischen Staatsoper unter Kirill Petrenko und am 24. Februar mit einem Solabend im Herkulessaal der Residenz, unter anderem mit Musik von Liszt und Prokofjew. BR-KLASSIK-Redakteurin Kristin Amme hat mit Hamelin über seine Liebe zum Klavier, eigene Kompositionen und die Auftritte in München gesprochen.

Der frankokanadische Pianist Marc-André Hamelin ist der "Mann für das schwere Zeug". Es ist fast unmöglich, ein Stück zu finden, das für ihn unspielbar wäre. Doch der Virtuose selbst möchte das Image des Technik-Genies eigentlich lieber ablegen.

Pianist Marc-André Hamelin discusses Mendelssohn. Plus, why TSO Musicians love playing Mahler.
