Marc-André Hamelin performs 'Alcotts' from the Concord Sonata

Marc-André Hamelin has recorded Charles Ives's Concord Sonata on two occasions, the first recording (for New World Records) was singled out for praise by Philip Clark in his overview of the available recordings of the work for Gramophone, writing: 'Hamelin’s technique can take him places other pianists can’t reach'. 

In today's video, Hamelin plays the 'Alcotts' movement at a concert to mark the 30th year of Other Minds, a group 'dedicated to the encouragement and propagation of contemporary music in all its forms through concerts, recordings, broadcasts, audio preservation, and public discussions that bring together artists and audiences of diverse traditions, generations, and cultural backgrounds.'
