It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: Hamelin

I've only listened to one Hamelin disc where the music wasn't smothered by his virtuosity, and that's his Nikolai Kapustin disc. Kapustin's music was largely virtuosic, so I suppose Hamelin would be a natural for it. He might do well with Liszt too, but I haven't heard any of those recordings. He gets called a super-virtuoso which I suppose means that he's in the habit of playing music at a tempo where it ceases being music--the opposite of what you would want in Schumann.
