He is also a prolific recording artist, having recorded the music of countless composers on Hyperion Records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hamelin was the winner of the 1985 Carnegie Hall International Competition of American Music and the 2000 Gramophone Instrumental Award and has received multiple Grammy nominations for his recordings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marc-Andre Hamelin was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 2003 and a Chevalier de l&#8217;Ordre du Quebec in 2004.
