The Süddeutsche Zeitung reviews Hélène Grimaud’s performance of Brahms Piano Concerto no. 1 with the Bayerische Rundfunk and Andris Nelsons in Munich

Album review: The Arts Fuse
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.
