Hélène Grimaud - Ravel Piano Concerto in G major (Hengelbrock, NDR) - Video 2017 

She once said that she has a particular affection for Ravel.

This is a most attractive hair style for her.

She is always pretty but she is luminous here.

@@sgchastain You’re absolutely right. Helene does look luminous performing here.

BTW, anyone knows the name of that black instrument playing the first note?

it's a whip (often called slapstick or frusta)@@ershenlin1774

@@ershenlin1774 if you mean at 0:37 it's the whip

second movement of this concerto is Ravel's masterpiece.

Me, too. So wonderful 🥰🥰

even I agree.

You are absolutely right, bill ding. Few, if any, can give this piece the subtlety, touch and fire that Helene does. Can it be because both Helene and Ravel are French? Perhaps.

Martha Argarich, Pascal Roge and Vladimir Perlemutter are also wonderful interpreters of Ravel's music.

Oui. C'est vrais.!

ЛЮБОПЫТНЫЙ ,,Приятель дорогой, здорово! Где был ты?,, - ,,В Кунстмере, мой друг! Ча'са три там ходил я; Всё ви'дел, всё смотрел; от удивления повериш ли, не станет ни уменья пересказать тебе, ни сил. И в правду там чудес палата! Ох как на выдумки природа даровата! Каких там то'лько тварей не видал я. Кааки'е бабочки,, букашки, казявки, мушки, таракашки! Одни как изумруд, другие как. коралл! Какие крохотны коровки! Есть право

Helene HAS to rank right up there in the top 5 pianists playing today. And she seems to get better as she gets older. I simply love her and her playing!!

I like Helene too much. In my opinion the best performance ever by this concert is by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. Helene is great too!

I see we find ourselves again!

Wie meinst du das?

15:34 the look of sheer struggle

WIF791, I agree completely. I just finished listening to Martha Argerich’s rendition of this piece. I found her 1st and 3rd movements played just a bit too fast for my liking. For me, her second movement lacked any personal feeling. Helene, on the other hand, played this 2nd movement with her heart and soul. And her 1st and 3rd are perfect in pace and feeling, and are played with the heart as well. Just look at her luminous face throughout the whole. She seems transpired by the music. Last comment…..way down the line of importance. Helene Grimaud is a beautiful woman and very easy to “look” at. Much better to listen to, though.

Yes, he did an eighth note instead of a quarter note on the A# apex, thus ruining the entire moment. The beat was also off all along.

👍🐱😉♥

🤣

@@EGM777 It does? How? (Maybe it says "Fuck you" to you. I don't know what to tell you about that. Well, I do, but you already said it.) It says" Floating alternating notes" to me. And I think she could have shaded it more. This is, however, a wonderful performance.

WHOISWHOвхевисвхе

@@ericbenjamin2908 it doesn't mean anything to you. you don't know shit

Пойди спляши

да метлою помаши Скука враз твоя пройдет Будеш ве'сел как енот

Добро и зло переплелись В борьбе Война и мир ☮️ Экзаменуют Любовь и ненависть бушуют

Claudio Parrella, if you were bored listening to that piece, the fault is not with the performers, but with you, it seems. Helene Grimaud was in top form throughout, but especially in the second movement. It was sublime!!
