Concert review: Colin’s Column (US)
Eight months after her dazzling performance of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the Bamberg Symphony and Jakub Hrůša, Hélène Grimaud returned for a recital combining ‘The Three Bs’.
Eight months after her dazzling performance of Robert Schumann’s Piano Concerto with the Bamberg Symphony and Jakub Hrůša, Hélène Grimaud returned for a recital combining ‘The Three Bs’.
“Getting down to business in the variations, she brought out the “Goldberg” connection in a scintillating presto, swimming canons, and a hearty fugato before wafting up and away in heavenly trills—missing no opportunity to build up resonances with the pedal and the Carnegie sound.”
“Her energetic performance calls to mind the heroic days of late 19th- and early 20th-century recitals.”
The French piano virtuoso and Rolex Testimonee has blazed a trail in life from marrying her varied interests.
