Marc-André Hamelin

Cadenzas for the Haydn Piano Concerti F major & G major

Widely admired for his performances of the core piano repertoire as well as his forays into obscure and hyper-virtuosic corners of the piano repertoire, composer-performer Marc-André Hamelin has received special praise for his sensitive and penetrating interpretations of the music of Franz Joseph Haydn. This volume collects both of Hamelin's original cadenzas for the Haydn Piano Concerto in F major, Hob. XVIII:3 in addition to his three cadenzas for the Concerto in G major, Hob. XVIII:4, all of which put Hamelin's own spectacular stamp onto the music of the Classical master.
