Concerto pour piano n°5 op.73 "empereur" - sonate pour piano n°28 op.101

Description

Hélène Grimaud has no equivalent on the classical music scene: adored by crowds like a true pop star, the young virtuoso brings a gram of dream and a zest of fantasy without losing either her concern for excellence or her passion. After the success of her previous albums, Hélène returns to the roots of Romanticism with a program dedicated to Beethoven: the Piano Concerto "Emperor," a heroic and powerful work, and Sonata No. 28, very lyrical, composed in the later part of his life. An ultra-Romantic program with a sumptuous interpretation, featuring the excellent performance of the young Russian conductor Vladimir Jurowski, who is here at the helm of the Staatskapelle Dresden; a record where one can fully appreciate Beethoven's modernity. An exceptional performer, a pianist with fascinating magnetism, Hélène Grimaud transcends every score she touches. We are truly in the presence of an event album. With this Beethoven disc, Hélène Grimaud will remain a unique interpreter.
