Hamelin and the Rachmaninoff “Everest”

Marc-André Hamelin is no stranger to repertoires deemed unplayable, and to virtually superhuman marathons—think only of the complete Brahms and Beethoven concerts of the last few seasons! —This time around, he tackles what might be called an “Everest” of the piano repertoire: Rachmaninoff’s Third Concerto, devilishly difficult, delirious in character and ardently vehement, demanding the highest level of proficiency. An unmissable performance with elite collaborators, the Orchestre Métropolitain and Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
