Marc-André Hamelin

Marc-André Hamelin's unrivaled combination of musicianship and technique has earned him legendary status as a pianist and accolades for his ability to shine both in the exploration of unfamiliar music as well as beloved classic repertoire. Hear why Alex Ross, long-time music critic for The New Yorker, counts Mr. Hamelin's hands "among the wonders of the musical world" when he performs favorites by Chopin alongside lyrical works by Bach, Feinberg, Weissenberg and Castelnuovo-Tedesco.
