Interpretation
Hélène Grimaud's artistry is characterized by her refusal to rely on received musical opinion, approaching interpretations and program building from different perspectives.
Interpretation
Hélène Grimaud aims to remove Beethoven from his pedestal, seeing his radical and forward-looking spirit as perfectly at home in a contemporary perspective.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Hélène Grimaud considers Beethoven a modern composer due to his incredible vitality, desire never to give up, and the philosophical dimension of his music.
Interpretation
Hélène Grimaud connects the operatic melodies of Mozart's A minor Sonata K 310 with the speech patterns and rhythms of Bartók's Romanian Folk Dances, finding a logical and musically stimulating link.
Interpretation
Hélène Grimaud believes that Bach's music is "always in the process of becoming," which she illustrates by juxtaposing original works with Romantic-era piano transcriptions.
Interpretation
Hélène Grimaud never plays a piece just for the sake of it; she scrutinizes its components, implications, ambiguities, and its place within the composer's output to find new perspectives.
Performer Biography
Hélène Grimaud's sense of adventure led to a 2014 collaboration with artist Douglas Gordon for 'tears become… streams become…' at New York's Park Avenue Armory, featuring water and a grand piano.
