Carnegie Hall: Marc-André Hamelin, piano
$19.50-$130
- Marc-Andre Hamelin, piano
Ludwig van Beethoven — Piano Sonata No. 3 in C major, Op. 2, No. 3
Ludwig van Beethoven — Piano Sonata No. 29 in B-flat major, Op. 106 "Hammerklavier"
Note: Sir András Schiff, who was originally scheduled to perform, has regrettably withdrawn from this recital due to a recent fall that has compromised his ability to travel. Marc-André Hamelin will perform in his place.
"A performer of near-superhuman technical prowess" (The New York Times), Marc-André Hamelin returns to Stern Auditorium / Perelman Stage with a program that fundamentally and passionately celebrates the piano. Beethoven's "Hammerklavier" Sonata is one of the instrument’s greatest (and most challenging) works, a Herculean piece that astounds in capable hands. Of Hamelin’s expert treatment of C.P.E. Bach's keyboard compositions, Gramophone "cannot think of a better introduction to C.P.E. Bach on the modern piano".
