Hamelin plays Haydn

Pianist Marc-Andre Hamelin has been getting raves for his collection of Haydn piano sonatas, as well as a Gramophone Award and a Grammy nomination. We'll go to Colorado's Aspen Festival to hear him play one of Haydn's sonatas, as well as an etude that Hamelin wrote, inspired by Johann Goethe's poem, "Erlkonig."
