Yannick and Grimaud connect like soul mates in Beethoven’s ‘Piano Concerto No. 4’

Truly intuitive musical partnerships are rare, at least on the level enjoyed by guest pianist Hélène Grimaud and Philadelphia Orchestra music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin in their performance of Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4 on Thursday at the Kimmel Center. It’s not some publicity thing: Their rapport is real and especially apparent in Beethoven’s most spiritually evolved and musically distilled piano concerto.
