Chopin: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 - Charles Richard-Hamelin (piano)

In their very first recording together, the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal directed by Kent Nagano and pianist Charles Richard-Hamelin give us amazing versions of Frédéric Chopin’s concertos for piano and orchestra, two vibrant and poetic works that the composer wrote while in his early 20s. Charles Richard-Hamelin, Silver medalist and winner of the Krystian Zimerman award at the International Chopin Piano Competition in 2015, is impressive with his extremely refined playing and the OSM offers wonderfully fluid and emotional performances and the result rivals the best recordings that have been made of these great works.
