Watch Hélène Grimaud play the Adagio from Mozart's Piano Concerto no. 23, which recorded for her new album marking two 'firsts' for Hélène Grimaud - her first live DG recording and her first ever Mozart concerto recording.
Hélène Grimaud considers the concerto in A major "probably the most sublime concerto Mozart ever wrote", with a slow movement that is "an extremely deep and painful expression of longing, where you find the real Mozart." The concerto was a 'must-have' for this collaboration. The concerto in F major K459 is less well-known, but with a very special vitality and a virtuosic finale that is for Grimaud, "pure pianistic pleasure".
Besides the two concertos, the album includes the beautiful concert aria for orchestra, soprano and piano 'Ch'io mi scordi di te', sung by Mojca Erdmann. The aria was Mozart's declaration of love to the soprano Nancy Storace, his Susanna in the world premiere of "Le nozze di Figaro". It was composed in 1786, the same year as the Piano Concerto No.23 which it joins here.

I love the music she chooses. And I love how she plays.Interesting thing, I cannot really judge her technical abilities, One is never aware that there is anything but music when she plays.I suspect she does not have equivalent digital competence to someone like Horowitz or Argerich when she plays, but that may simply be because I really cannot separate her technical prowess at all from her interpretations. So I always end up thinking, who cares? Just let me listen some more......very mesmeric.

Sheer beauty and elegance....both Helene and the music!

TREAU BOP !!

@niallsohan how ever have you found out of this "diaphanous and gaping" state, dear ?
This sounds not only ominous but outright dangerous !!!!!

@stevenpaulniles "I wish Hélène would have gone into modeling or acting instead of piano." :
.
this would make sense only, if her playing were deficient
but it's only lack-ing in speed
what is a gain
here

@stevenpaulniles She may be making love to the camera, as you say. Or, maybe she is being loved by Mozart - sounds melodramatic, but some people are realy effected this strongly by art. I'm not highly educated in music, just love music, but she always sounds beautiful to me.

Mozart was way ahead of his time, Hélène played it like Beethoven would: with so much emotion.

7 people like Justin Bieber lol

Affectedly slow. She's pretentious with her knowing nods and smug smirks. I wish Hélène would have gone into modeling or acting instead of piano.
