“I want to live a good life and pay my taxes. 'The Killing' was a blessing. It was two wonderful years. But I had reached a point in my life, especially with a young son, that I was no longer willing to compromise my life for the sake of a paycheque. I was no longer willing to move where the tax credits are strong.” WantYearsTwoMovingYoungStrongPayWonderfulWillingSonBlessingTaxesKillingSakeCreditCompromiseGood LifeYoung Sons Author:Kristin Lehman

“Whenever I record something, I always believe that it's worthy of inclusion in the pantheon, and I would certainly like pianists to pay more attention to it. I think it's ridiculous now, because the range of repertoire - or what's considered 'safe' - is so narrow, even though there are pianists who are really trying to push the envelope.

The piano repertoire is so rich, with so many wonderful things that still are not given their due.” ThinkingTryingBelieveStillsReasonGivenPayAttentionRichRecordsWonderfulSafeWorthyDuesRidiculousRangePianoNo ReasonInclusionWonderful ThingsAlways BelievePianistEnvelopesPantheon Author:Marc-Andre Hamelin
