The album Piano Concerto No 2 Piano Concerto No 3 by Medtner, Rachmaninov featuring MarcAndré Hamelin, London Philharmonic Orchestra, and Vladimir Jurowski is an exquisite collection of classical music that will leave listeners in awe. The album showcases the extraordinary talent of the performers, who have brought to life the two beautiful piano concertos by Medtner and Rachmaninov.
The album opens with Medtner's Piano Concerto No. 2, which is a masterpiece in its own right. The London Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski, provides a powerful and dynamic backdrop for Hamelin's virtuosic piano playing. The second movement, in particular, is a standout, with Hamelin's delicate touch and Jurowski's sensitive conducting creating a truly mesmerizing performance.
