Schumann: Piano Concerto with Hélène Grimaud & Thomas Hengelbrock | NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchestra 

Thank you, much appreciated!

Helene is huge talented! What a beauty!

What a pleasure! Thanks for sharing!

The first and so far only time I saw her live was also with the Cincinnati Symphony 9 years ago, playing Brahms' first concerto. I will never forget the magic that it was. You're right- nothing compares to seeing her live. I miss Cincinnati and the CSO so much. I studied there for two years.

Richard meth, and I had the privilege of seeing and hearing Helene at Carnegie Hall in NYC two weeks ago. She was incredible…..five curtain calls and four encores. I agree with you that she is indeed near or at the top of today’s classical pianists

And just last week, 4/19/23, I again had the privilege of seeing her live at the Disney Center in Los Angeles. It was one of those rare transcendent experiences. Helene and the audience were at one for the entire program, but most completely for the finale of Bach’s Chaconne. When the last note sounded, the audience, as one, rose to their feet with thunderous applause and shouts of acclimation. This continued through four curtain calls and three encores. There is no doubt that even as Helene gets older, she continues to bring her unique musical interpretation to all the pieces of her repertoire. In my opinion, she continues to be one of the top pianists in the world.

Wir danken herzlich! :)

Who is "Clare"Schumann?

Clara Schumann, I suppose 😉

@@horsthofsass765 Clare Shumann was a cousin of Robert, they plaid harmonica together when they were young...🤣😂

Si vous la croisiez, ce qui m'est arrivé, vous tomberiez raide dingue, en lévitation pour le restant de vos jours. Depuis 2007 je plane, j’ai vu une comète de ce temps.

Das freut uns aber sehr!! :)

Thank you!!

She is adorable in every conceivable way.

I only choose to listen to Hélène’s recordings. I find that her playing the piano touches me deeply and I am better for it. Thank you. I have my favorite pieces and I listen to them over and over again.

好喜欢她的演奏

Yes for sure! I link her with Martha e Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli

I agree; more full-length live performances! She's amazing!

Oui!!!!Pour tout les moments romantiques

Thank you very much! 🤩

Piacere! Grazie per ascoltarlo!

Stay strong in Lockdown, music wil win from Covid 19. Wish you all the best, greetings from the Netherlands

There are around 8 billion of us on the planet, so I guess that means 8,000 Hélènes. :)

She is my top piano player together with Horowitz. Both talented beyond any limits, Grimaud more sophisticated, Horowitz more spontaneus. Grimaud is Bach, Horowitz was Scarlatti. The third one is Marta Argerich. Marta is like Liszt on steroids. The queen of the piano sound. She can rip the whole orchestra apart with her pinky finger alone. She can play sweet as the first flower in the spring. And she can switch one to another in less then second. And people love it. There are many other very good piano players in the world but these three are the most inspiring musical personalities for me.

@@peace-now she IS that one in a Billion....

Wir danken! Und freuen uns, dass es gefällt! :)

True. The only distraction is her exquisite beauty.

She is sublime!

De acordo!

DIE WELT Klassik inszenierung von Axel Brüggemann Das Haus des Buches in Dresden ist ein sehr aufgeräumter Laden. ... Hier erklärt die Belletristik - Buchhändlerin: "Ja, die Grimoud, die finden Sie in der Biologie, sie ist doch eine Wolfsforscherin." ... Die Odyssee im Dresdner Haus des Buches verrät viel über den Wandel der Klassik. Vorbei die Zeit, in der ein Musiker allein durch seine Interpretation des zweiten Satzes der Mondscheinsonate oder die exzentrische Analyse des "Wohltemperierten Klavieres" Erfolge feierte. Heute reicht es nicht einmal mehr, nur schön zu sein. ... Inzwischen müssen die Jung - Stars aber noch mit einer Abenteuergeschichte hinter ihrer Hochglanzfassade aufwarten, um Beachtung in der auf Fortissimo gestimmten Klassik - Nische zu finden. Krankheiten, Affären und Sex sells. Also wird vor dem Singen, Streichen und Klimpern freimütig über Eßstörungen und Männerphantasien geplappert. Und davon, dass Wölfe und ungezähmte Frauen den gleichen Ruf hätten und gegen beide die gleiche feindselige Gewalt ausgeübt würde. ...Daß der Klassik - Zirkus wunderbare Bücher hervorbringen kann, hat die Krimi - Autorin Thea Dorn vorgemacht. In ihrem Roman "Ringkampf" karikiert sie Diven, Rivalen und Opern - Fetischisten. Villeicht findet sich jemand, der die nackte Tatsachen als Autobiographie erzählt. Das ganz normale Leben: ungeoutete Schwule, verknallte Intendanten, weltweite Netzwerke, die unter Hotelbettdecken geflochten werden. Diese Geschichte würde das Haus des Buches sicher als Belletristik in die Regale räumen - weil die Klassik der beste Roman ist.

Me too !

Right. she's one of the most extraordinary pianists :)

Same here ! I had the immense privilege to attend her performance at Théatre des Champ Elysées in Paris a few years ago. She played the second Brahms concerto. I couldn't refrain my tears. And she was tiny in front of this enormous Steinway. So tiny, but so strong, and so driven by the music, by Brahms himself, it seemed.

@@skydream4869 Plays "in the moment from the heart", not many dare "let go" like she does! Wonderful what life can be when we give it freedom to be 100% present.

Thank you! Much appreciated!🤩

That's great Eric. Once about 5 years ago I had the privilege to drink a cup of coffee with Helene in Amsterdam where she gave a concert I should go. I met her in the bar of a hotel a few hours before the concert, we did have a nice conversation in french about music, Rachmaninoff. 3 hours later I was present in her concert. It was great. Greetings from the Netherlands, les Pays Bas

I'm very much jealous, Jan-Pieter :-) Lucky man you were !

We're happy you enjoyed the concert recording!

Thanks for commenting, @sanderson9515! We think so too! Stay tuned for more! :) #Schumann #HeleneGrimaud #ThomasHengelbrock #NDRElbphilharmonieOrchestra

C'est vrai, elle brille plus que toutes autres étoiles.

She is a gift, beautiful, talented and exudes a passion for the music that leaves me with a depth of emotion that is overwhelming. I can listen to her all day and all night. Thank you for sharing your love for music.

She is sublime!

Wir danken vielmals!! :)

Marvellous!!!

I do agree. She is a fantastic pianist but not only. If you could listen to her talking in French or in English of her view on life. Or saying with her own words her feeling for maestro Claudio Abbado...It is pure poetry ! She is a comet, having an exigence on herself which makes me feeling so small.

@@jean-francoisbrieuc705I agree with you! She has such an exquisite personality and it is an enjoyment to listen to her, be it on the piano or in an interview etc.

Yes, she is!!!

Oh how magical and mystical is how she is plafyiing without a piece of music in front of her. She has become my favorite pianist awesome and amazing. Thank you Helene,. Sister Beth

On a totally different class from players like Yuja Wang 🤢

Filming was awful. Not enough of the piano keyboard!

@@1940limited On the contrary, the filming was excellent, especially the shots from above which showed us what wonderful hands and fingers Ms Grimaud has (des mains tres fines) which goes a long way to explaining why she is such a great pianist.

I know. It is all about who the managers are pushing.

Yes, she is among the top pianists of her generation. The Top 100.

Khatia Buniatishvili wird dem Schumann auch bravourös Herr.

Haha Yuja Wang anybody? 🤮

@@BigChungusthe3rd:generally, a huge NO, but I heard Yuja play Beethoven 's hammerklavier sonata on RU-vid and it was very good. however, in general terms,I much prefer Helene Grimaud.

@@BigChungusthe3rd Sad to think one cannot appreciate one great artist without denigrating another. Let a thousand blossoms bloom - ALL enrich us, even if in different ways. This is a superb performance of a long loved treasure.

@@willdon.1279 Yuja wang is supremely talented and powerful in her own way. Helene is just on a different level of understanding and maturity

Joseph - there will indeed must, be different levels of understanding and interpretations between artists. Growing from our learnings and experience I honestly believe top contemporary artists are equal or above past masters. I do find myself "moved" more now, than when I set out musically over 70 years ago. And Yuja often gives ME just that little extra sheer joy. Just my personal view, I would not presume to criticise other RESPECTFUL ones.

Wow, what a beautiful comment.

kNOW WHAT YOU MEAN....especially played like this!! The 'New Jerusalem' beckons.....

Thank you, much appreciated!

She has a tone of Russian pianists (very metalic and hard touches) but at the same time plays like Argerich , which makes her style very unique. (which is very interesting, because she started her studying in France) People often forget one can play piano in some specefic tone, like the other instruements.

Small quibble. Experts generally rate this piece among the top 5 piano concertos. Deservedly

Wonderful indeed, her performance is just magic ✨

@@NDRKlassik I have learned that wonderful is short, so anyday now this will be taken away from us,

On her attire -- she dresses classy, not trashy (like a few other well-known female pianists). 👍

You are very welcome! :)

I couldn't agree more!

Beaucoup de gens écoutent le morceau mais oublient de le "noter" - Cela m'arrive souvent et je le regrette
