One of the very greatest piano concertos ever composed. Sublime and mind-blowing in equal measure.
Another shockingly great performance by the master. One of the greatest piano concertos ever written, given total justice. Glorious.
One I love about this concerto is the unbridled lyricism of the first movement, the second movement's exotic rhetoric, and the overwhelming exuberance of the last. Engaging from the simplest of beginnings to its 'take no prisoners' finale. Terrific performances and recording qualities.
I love this piece...and this is the finest performance of it I have heard...that includes concerts and recordings with Hough, Rogé, Collard, Thibaudet, Tacchino, Ciccolini, and half a dozen others. To the one person who claims to "dislike" it, I say: YOU'RE DRUNK! STOP FIDDLING WITH THE COMPUTER!!!!
Hamlin's such a GREAT pianist...
Wonderful interpretation of Marc-André Hamelin.
saint-saens is great composer ... thank you very much
La meilleure interprétation pour moi, d’une telle précision et avec tant de couleurs. Jusqu’à présent mon favori dans cette œuvre était Richter, mais là je suis soufflé!
This is a MAGNIFICENT performance!!! Best I ever heard. WOW! Thanks, UA-cam.
Yes! Hamelin is in such command and control of this piece. The best recording of No. 5 I've ever heard.
Thanks so much! Back in the 1970's my Mom and I heard a live performance of this at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and we couldn't figure out how that amazing sound was made and I never have seen the score.
The second movement is one the best concerto movement ever.
Such a beautiful concerto, It deserves to be played more often!
I was absolutely overwhelmed the first time I heard this piece. It is just so exotic, as is much of Saint-Saens. I can recall bouncing around in the front seat of my car. It was the Roge' version I think. I am just as excited as I listen to the last movement of this Hamelin version.
One of my favorite concertos, feels like heaven
I've listened to this piece several times and it keeps growing on me, despite some weak moments...but it contains some very brilliant piano writing, a real tour de force for any pianist to play, as in this performance...
Marc-Andre Hamelin is the Greatest

I love it when they include the shouts and applause at the end. Their inclusion here was very appropriate, and it gave me another chill, even though the piece was over.
Unbelievable. The last bars of the second movement are unsurpassed in their beauty.
