About "Legato - The World of the Piano"

A new generation has made the piano popular again: pianists with a passion for virtuosity and a willingness to expand their repertoire. In addition to the usual classics they perform formerly scorned works or they discover neglected composers. LEGATO is a series dedicated to presenting some of this new movement's most fascinating pianists - their individual approaches, their fresh ideas and their music.

Montréal native Marc-André Hamelin is internationally renowned for his musical virtuosity and refined pianism. The Times described a performance as “Ultimate Perfection”.
