Watch and listen to Hélène Grimaud talk about her second album at Deutsche Grammophon featuring Chopin and Rachmaninov. She makes her return with what can easily be called the most intimate recording she has done so far: Juxtaposing the second piano sonatas by Chopin and Rachmaninov, this programme contains the very soul of Romantic piano literature - the sheer colour and uncompromising emotionality of this music is breathtaking.

Also this album is a debut for Hélène Grimaud as it contains her first ever Chopin studio recording - after visiting a Chopin recital concert of Maurizio Pollini in Tokyo in May 2004 she made the decision that it was time to approach probably the greatest of all piano composers again.

Hélène Grimaud is one of the most gifted pianists of our time, with an almost unheard-of sensitivity to emotional shades.
