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 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”.

Nice. Sort of okay.

[@andrewyarosh1809]

“Sort of okay.” What is? The artist? He interpretation? The piece? Haydn? The Steinway? The video quality? The camera work? This is one of the great pianists of our time. Playing an emblematic piano sonata of the Classical period.
