Helene Grimaud
Work:: Helene Grimaud (S916853532)
Production:: (T1439046940)
Described as 'sensitive and passionate’ by The New York Times, Helene Grimaud is a pianist with a difference. Her vibrant playing expresses her vivid personality in this programme of piano classics drawn from across 200 years. Mozart’s A minor Piano sonata is a work of tremendous energy that often feels ahead of its time. Berg’s piano sonata stems from the heady yet unsettling atmosphere of early 20th-century Vienna, intensely emotional and tightly wrought. Liszt’s Sonata in B minor is one of the iconic pieces of its time - a virtuoso tone-poem in one gigantic movement that feels full of narrative drama. To close, Bartok’s Romanian Dances bring the irresistible exoticism of Transylvanian folk music into the concert hall.
