Liszt’s piano concertos challenge even the most virtuosic pianists, and his passionate Second is no exception, traversing the keyboard with knuckle-cramping, breakneck passages that render the player’s hands a blur. Canadian pianist Marc-André Hamelin, a “marvelous, moving” artist (The New York Times) whose “technical finesse borders on the supernatural” (The Seattle Times), is more than equal to the challenge. Buckle up for a wild ride in this dazzling display!
