1001 Classical recordings you must hear before you die (1901-1950) - "Comes Marc-Andre Hamelin with the most spectacular pianism of all, yet played firmly at the service of the music. He's consistently faster than his rivals whenever a speeding-up is indicated, but always maintains crispness of rhythm and an almost miraculously clear layering of tectures; and the poetry of the slower passages is intensified by the heightened contrast….something very special."
