WILLIAM BOLCOM
Bolcom: The complete rags
Marc-André Hamelin (piano)
[ Hyperion / 2 CD ]
Release Date: Friday 3 June 2022
Yet another unmissable release from Marc-André Hamelin. From the easy-going elegance of 'Tabby Cat Walk' to the high spirits of 'Eubie's Luckey Day' (and the altogether wilder antics of 'Brass Knuckles'), William Bolcom's lifelong and affectionate homage to - and continuation of - this archetypal American genre is a guaranteed winner.
'Bolcom is lucky in having such a musician to provide him with these authoritative accounts of his music.' Gramophone Editor's Choice July 2022
Gramophone Award Finalist 2023 - Piano
"This collection transmits the composer's joy and fascination with a music that should appeal to almost everybody. Hamelin's recording should be treasured by those interested in American music." Fanfare
