Hamelin, known for his extraordinary virtuosity, here presents not so much the exact opposite of this but a world that complements it: slow, minimalist, yet strangely evocative and expressive...Simple though the music sounds, Hamelin's touch of the keyboard plays its role, each note like a separate pebble gently dropped into a pool and sending out ripples.

Hamelin is scrupulous over every isolated note hanging against a sky of silence, 70 minutes of stillness, a technical challenge of a special kind.

It’s a far cry from the virtuoso repertoire one associates with Hamelin to the glacial evacuatedness of late Feldman pieces such as this 73-minute unfolding...He realises this transfigured ritual with technical prowess surplus to requirements.

a perfect and, at around 80 minutes, a relatively concise introduction to the timeless, pared-down world of late Feldman...Hamelin presents that world of microscopic nuances with immaculate care...everything in Hamelin’s performance seems part of a natural, inevitable unfolding, and the Hyperion recording perfectly catches all its details.

What Hamelin has in his favour is an unwavering focus on the dense weave of Feldman’s rhythmic grid, and a studio recording as softly tangible as fine silk. Do not, as they say, adjust your set. Rather, sit back and let the music adjust your head.
