Marc-André Hamelin returns to Carnegie Hall.
by Paul J. Pelkonen
The Canadian-born Boston-based pianist Marc-André Hamelin is not the biggest star to play his instrument. He doesn’t gyrate on his bench, flail his arms or wear short skirts that scandalize traditionalists. No. On Wednesday night, he came to Carnegie Hall, programmed unbelievably difficult stuff, and then blew the audience through the back wall of Stern Auditorium.
The sad part is, this hallowed venue was only half full to hear a musician of this caliber.
