Hélène Grimaud and Konstantin Krimmel at Gstaad Menuhin Festival

Als Kind wurde Hélène Grimaud mit ADHS diagnostiziert. Heute ist sie Starpianistin, Autorin und Klimaaktivistin. In ihren Konzerten macht sie sich verwundbar, um an die Essenz zu kommen.

Die Star-Pianistin und Bariton Konstantin Krimmel sorgten mit Liedern von Valentin Silvestrov im Konzerthaus für gepflegte Lethargie.

Hélène Grimaud: Wolfsretterin und Starpianistin kommt nach Redefin.

The names “ Grimaud” and “Wolf” have been intimately linked for a quarter century. Not Hugo Wolf but Canis Lupus. When not on her keyboard, Ms. Grimaud is in upstate New York with the Wolf Conservation Center which she founded 25 years ago. Undoubtedly, her delicacy, her sensitivity, and above all, her empathy for notes and animals are predominant.

Le 14 mai 2024, la pianiste Hélène Grimaud est l’invitée de la Philharmonie de Paris. Elle interprète la sonate N°30 de Ludwig van Beethoven, les trois Intermezzi (opus 117), la Fantaisie (opus 116) de Johannes Brahms et la Chaconne de Johann Sebastian Bach dans la transcription pour piano de Ferrucio Busoni.

Almost a quarter-century ago, a set of photographs showing the pianist Hélène Grimaud cuddling wolves captured hearts and imaginations all over the world. The French musician had just co-founded the Wolf Conservation Center in upstate New York. Today she remains a prominent advocate for the animals, for their crucial environmental role and the importance of protecting them.

The eminent French pianist Hélène Grimaud performed a classic combination of “B” composers — Beethoven, Brahms, and Bach (arranged by a slightly less famous B, Busoni) — in a sold-out Richardson Auditorium at her Princeton University Concert series debut on January 24. While well-known pieces run the risk of being standard or cliché, her unique style made them sparkle — just like her outfit.
