Hélène Grimaud, Piano

Pianist Hélène Grimaud approaches such works with a rare artistic freedom, resulting in performances that are “not merely proficient tours through the repertoire; they are highly personal explorations that can stand out among dozens of rival performances” (The New Yorker). Grimaud has a well-earned reputation for converting fans who are less familiar with this music in addition to longtime aficionados ready to discover new magic in timeless staples.
