Grimaud, a pianist whose grasp of the Romantic sensibility (especially the willingness to risk and commit all in pursuit of an artistic goal) is total, has a field day with it here. From the downbeat of the stormy, rhythmically a-blur “Äusserst bewegt,” this is a Kreisleriana that holds nothing back.
DIE ZEIT, September 14, 2023
HÉLÈNE GRIMAUD liebt nicht nur das Klavierspiel, sondern auch die NATUR. Passend dazu veröffentlicht sie jetzt ein ALBUM mit Werken der ROMANTIK.
Intensiver Blick: Als Kind hatte Hélène Grimaud ein schwer zu bändigendes Temperament. Ihre Eltern suchten nach einer Lösung und schickten ihre Tochter zum Klavierunterricht. Heute zählt die Französin zu den berühmtesten Pianistinnen unserer Zeit.
