Overview

Marc-André Hamelin’s latest Wigmore Hall recital reflects the French-Canadian pianist’s famous sense of musical adventure and ability to create engrossing imaginary landscapes.

His programme contrasts the reflective moods of Schubert’s Impromptus D935 with the febrile atmosphere, emotional intensity and technical wizardry of Leopold Godowsky’s Chopin transcriptions for left hand alone.
