Product description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of classical piano with Marc-André Hamelin's stunning rendition of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 and Medtner's Piano Concerto No. 2. Released on Hyperion in 2017, this album is a testament to Hamelin's virtuosity and the London Philharmonic Orchestra's exquisite accompaniment under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski.

The album features six tracks, spanning a total of 82 minutes, and showcases the depth and breadth of Hamelin's musical prowess. Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 30, is a monumental work, known for its technical demands and emotional intensity. Hamelin's performance is nothing short of breathtaking, capturing the essence of Rachmaninoff's composition with precision and passion.

Complementing this masterpiece is Medtner's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C Minor, Op. 50, a work that is less frequently performed but equally deserving of admiration. Hamelin's interpretation brings out the intricate details and rich harmonies of Medtner's composition, offering a fresh perspective on this lesser-known gem.

This album is a must-listen for classical music enthusiasts and anyone seeking to explore the beauty of piano concertos. Hamelin's artistry, combined with the London Philharmonic Orchestra's impeccable playing, creates an unforgettable listening experience. Whether you're a seasoned classical music fan or a newcomer to the genre, this album is sure to leave a lasting impression.
