Marc-André Hamelin
# Marc-André Hamelin

Marc-André Hamelin (Montreal, Quebec, 5 de septiembre de 1961) es un pianista de género clásico y compositor franco-canadiense.

## Trayectoria como pianista

Comenzó sus estudios de piano a la edad de cinco años y tenía nueve años cuando ganó el premio mayor en una competición de música canadiense. Su padre, un farmaceuta que también era pianista, le enseñó los trabajos de Alkan, Godowsky y Sorabji cuando él todavía era joven. Estudió en la École Vincent d'Indy en Montreal en la Temple University en Filadelfia, Pensilvania. En 1989 recibió el premio Virginia Parker.

Marc-André Hamelin ha ofrecido recitales en varias ciudades. Sus apariciones en festivales han incluido a Bad Kissingen, Belfast, Cervantino, La Grange de Meslay, Husum Piano Rarities, Lanaudière, Ravinia, La Roque d’Anthéron, Ruhr Piano, Scotia (Halifax), Singapore Piano, Snape Maltings Proms, Turku and Ottawa Strings of the Future, así como los festivales de Chopin de Bagatelles (París), de Duszniki y de Valldemosa. Marc-André Hamelin aparece regularmente en la Wigmore Hall Masterconcert Series, así como también en las Series Internacionales de Piano en South Bank Centre de Londres. Además Hamelin toca anualmente en el Herkulessaal en Múnich y ofrece una serie de recitales en Tokio.

Ha realizado grabaciones de una gran variedad de compositores con el sello Hyperion. Su grabación de los Estudios completos de Leopold Godowsky sobre Études de Chopin ganó el Premio Instrumental de la Revista Gramophone en el año 2000. Es conocido por su atención a compositores menos conocidos, especialmente de finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX (Leo Ornstein, Nikolai Roslavets, Georgy Catoire), y por la interpretación de obras de los pianistas-compositores Leopold Godowsky, Charles-Valentin Alkan, Kaikhosru Sorabji, Nikolai Kapustin, Franz Liszt, Nikolai Medtner y Frederic Rzewski.

Su primer matrimonio fue con la soprano Jody Karin Applebaum. Actualmente vive en Boston, Massachusetts, con su segunda esposa, Cathy Fuller, pianista y locutora de música clásica de la WGBH.

## Como compositor

Hamelin también ha compuesto varias obras, incluyendo un conjunto de estudios de piano en todas las claves menores, que se completó en septiembre de 2009 y fue publicado por C. F. Peters, con una grabación publicada en la etiqueta de Hyperion. Un ciclo de siete piezas, llamado Con Intimissimo Sentimento, fue publicado (con una grabación de Hamelin) por Ongaku No Tomo Sha. Y una transcripción del Tico-Tico No Fubá de Zequinha de Abreu ha sido publicada por Schott Music. Aunque la mayoría de sus composiciones son para piano solo, también ha escrito tres piezas para pianola (incluyendo la cómica Circus Galop y Solfeggietto a cinque, que se basa en un tema de CPE Bach), y varias obras para otras formaciones, incluyendo Fanfares para tres trompetas, publicada por Presser. Sus otras obras son distribuidas por el Archivo Sorabji.

## Premios

En 1985 ganó el Concurso Internacional Carnegie Hall para Música Americana. En 2004 Hamelin recibió el premio internacional del disco en Cannes. Ha sido nombrado Oficial de la Orden de Canadá y Chevalier de l'Ordre National du Québec (Orden Nacional de Quebec).

Recientemente, ganó el Premio Juno 2008 al Álbum Clásico del Año Solo o de Cámara para el Concierto para piano de Alkan.

## Valoración crítica

Escribiendo en The New Yorker en el 2000, el crítico principal Alex Ross se pronunció así: "La leyenda de Hamelin crecerá. Ahora mismo no hay nadie como él". En 2010, Ross dijo que Hamelin está altamente clasificado por los conocedores de piano, y que "Es admirado por su técnica monstruosamente brillante y su enfoque profundamente pensado".

En 2015, Zachary Woolfe, editor de música clásica del New York Times, observó la "claridad y control sobrenatural del Sr. Hamelin, cualidades que en él no excluyen la sensibilidad ni la poesía".
