Marc-André Hamelin playing Leopold Godowsky's study for the left hand alone on Chopin's Etude No.6 Op.10.
Sounds intriguing. Would love to hear it.

Must be this.

*refrains from joke about what he's doing with his right hand because that's like low-hanging fruit, right?*

More piano players should use their left hand only. That's what I think.

Hamelin's best known for really big, incredibly demanding romantic stuff like Alkan, and Busoni's concerto. It was a little bit of a surprise when I saw him in concert and the program was Haydn and Debussy - all of book II of Images - and Chopin. But his Haydn was wonderful, and more exciting than any of the super-virtuoso things I've heard him play.
