Marc-André Hamelin (piano) Les Violons du Roy, Bernard Labadie

Haydn: 1. Keyboard Concerto No. 11 in D major, HobXVIII:11 cadenzas by Wanda Landowska, 2. Keyboard Concerto No. 3 in F major with French horns and strings, Hob.XVIII:3 cadenzas by Marc-André Hamelin, 3. Keyboard Concerto No. 4 in G major, Hob.XVIII:4 cadenzas by Marc-André Hamelin

Marc-André Hamelin has proved himself—in three lauded volumes of Haydn’s piano sonatas—to be a formidable Haydn pianist, combining style, exuberance and dazzling technique with a palpable sense of joy in the music. Now he has recorded the composer’s three most popular concertos. This release is the fruit of a partnership with the award-winning Canadian chamber orchestra Les Violons du Roy and their director Bernard Labadie, whose previous recordings for Virgin Classics and other labels have received the highest critical acclaim.
