Thank you for this glimpse into the life and soul of Helene Grimaud. She is certainly NOT a one dimensional musical artist, playing beautiful piano only. In a word, she is truly a “Renaissance” woman. At 53, I hope she has many, many more years to grace our lives with her musical talent, physical beauty, superb intellect and ecological commitments. Brava Helene!!
Helene Grimaud, the sublime artist and human, is my spirit animal. (I hope one day she decides to write more books, as her writing is as transcendent as her playing.)
There is no doubt that Hélène has a special talent for interpreting the music of the great romantic composers, but for me her greatest interpretation is that of the Bach-Busoni chaconne for which she has no rivals.
Toute à la fois romantique, jolie , persévérante, drôle, prévenante, classique et moderne : bref : une femme accomplie !!🎉 Et comment vont les loups en ces temps si troubles ( français....😢) , ? . Merci pour votre excellence en beaucoup de matières. God bless you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 En bref : une personne fascinante avec une belle âme
So much talent in one person! Among her many assets is a precision in spoken language that few can match. Phrases like "react to" come with all the consonants audibly pronounced but no distortions. And as others have noted, her musical skills and physical beauty are outstanding.
Helene is at once an awe-inspiring master and an approachable, disarming human being. Her introspective life is so genuine, and deeply vital to the resources she expresses for the rest of us. I'm wondering if this clip is a portion of the promised 2023 theater release "Between the Notes" documentary . . . ?
Joseph Miller, you may be right. I have been eagerly awaiting the release of this promised film most of this year. Let’s hope that it will be coming soon.
Silence is an important musical value. Groupings of notes can define the space between. Helene's phrasing and tempo flow are what I think she ecxels at.
Wonderful Portrait of piano virtuoso Helene Grimaud ! Great pleasure to listen to her added by excerpts from her performances. But the greatest pleasure was to be in her concert in LA Hollywood Bowl, unforgettable. Thank you, DW Classical Music.
Let only music caress your hearts & never let bad guys win to screw us the joy of life, eternal gratitude gorgeous performers that make our lives a better place, never stop believe in guys ❤🎉❤
Lovely portrait. Thank you very much. "The purpose of art is not the momentary ejection of adrenaline but is , rather , the gradual , lifelong construction of a state of wonder and serenity." Glenn Gould . Ms. Grimaud typifies this. I never got over Gould's 1981 recording of The Goldberg Variations. How could one ?! Its reverberations seem to last for an eternity.
Helene Grimaud is a beautiful person. Being one of the world's greatest living pianists is only part of her life. It's easy to love and fall in love with her. I really admire her creation of the wolf conservatory. She's also a woman who becomes more beautiful with age. Watching her play is fascinating, especially when I see her smile. She's enjoying the music she creates as much as her audience. Why don't I ever meet women like her?
@paulhersch4787 Many if not most women are at their most attractive in there 20s. But there are exceptions. Like a beautiful flower that blossoms opening up Helene just gets more beautiful with time. Falling in love with her is easy. I'd marry her. ❤️
Let's dream so high and beautiful we could suggest our most beloved music stars, how to input a future music project, Helene is the best Brahms player, try to imagine Brahms playing some modern tracks, it would be a very thrilling experience, can you imagine it?

I think spending her prime years, this extremely beautiful , intelligent woman, devoted to twelve hour training sessions and constant travelling in usettling conditions... we only have one life , we need to live our youth fully. Dedication to a vocation like hers, makes her youth pass too quickly. A balanced life is fuller and more satisfying. Where are her children ?
I saw her play at Boston's Symphony Hall the night Donald Trump was (actually) elected president in November, 2016. She was amazing. I echo what every other commenter has said about her.
Let only music rule the world & let gorgeous performers have fun entertain us fans because...they make of our lives a better place, big loving hug adorable Helene & other hundred years more having fun stay with us fans love youuuuu 🌈🎁🥂🎉🎊👌🍀🙋🤗🦋💐💋🎇👏🎉🥂🌈🌈🎁🥂💎🎂👍💎🤘🌺🌈
heard her recital in Los Angeles last month, all German program, she's great. she doesn't look 53, must be her vegan diet. 😆 Mozart was German, I wish she would play more Mozart.
CVArts, I, too, was at her recital in Los Angeles on 4/19/23. It was simply transcendent!! Her connection with the audience that night was like nothing I had ever experienced. It was as though we, the audience and Helene, the performer were at one and time literally was suspended. I had never heard Bach’s Chaconne played as perfectly as she played it that night. It is a performance that for me, brought the sublimity of the next world into this one and gave me a vision of “what’s to come”. I shall be forever grateful to Helene for that gift.
@@barbaraglynn1531 She and Jean-Yves seem to play in L.A. every season. Lucky we. This week it's the Mozart recital by Víkingur Ólafsson. He's great too.
And now, I have tickets for her concert at Caramoor in Katonah, NY in July. She’s playing Ravel. I just happened to have been in LA at the right time to attend the recital in April. I live on the East Coast and saw her at Carnegie Hall last December, but I”m really not a Grimaud “roadie”.
H. Grimaud connait un succès mondial mérité et une grande notoriété. Dommage que V. Lisitsa ne connaisse pas le même succès et que ses immenses talents ne soient pas reconnus en Occident. La raison ? Tout simplement son positionnement dans la guerre en Ukraine . Elle même ukrainienne ( née à Kiev ) elle n''a pas choisi le " bon camp " en critiquant sans concession V. Zélinsky. L' Occident l'a ostracisée au point de nier ses immenses talents. Quelle tristesse de voir l'Occident politiser la musique, le sport, la littérature, l'art en général. " C'est plus qu'un crime, c'est une faute."
While Hélène Grimaud herself is French, we kindly remind you to adhere to our netiquette guidelines to please comment in English. This allows the community to participate in constructive discussions.
Dear Helene, could you reccomend me to a lable, but Deutsche Grammophon? I prefer American lables, because earnint money with Germans is somehow a fairy tale. Well, I'd liket to be a composer for piano, but I tend to write songs and earn money with my voice. If you see me as a good pianist, worth to be recorded, I'd be happy, if you can reccomend me to a lable. I love you, Julia Grigorian.
I dote on her, as a musician, as a woman, she is a delight, she is what I can best describe as a French international, civilised. I suppose that people who are international are comfortable with their own country, she is so French She reminds me of my fiancée who inducted me into French life, a Yorkshire Frenchman .
What she is doing with her life inspires me to be a better person. And I just love to watch and listen to her play.
The older she gets, the more beautiful and wiser she becomes.😌🥰
You seem to love her 💘💘💘
@Sandoz-tq7qj What I think is that she was and still is a very attractive woman. Older than before but very beautiful indeed.
Do we not all?

What an incredibly beautiful and brilliant woman she is. Her spirit shines through every aspect of her humanity.
Helene Grimaud, the sublime artist and human, is my spirit animal.
(I hope one day she decides to write more books, as her writing is as transcendent as her playing.)
I love listening to her play but also love listening to interviews with her.
What a wonderful human being ! Her Schumann Piano Concerto and Bach Chaconne are absolute and definitive joys for me
For me as well!!
Marvelous person and musician.
Love her comment that nature is the ultimate muse for creativity. A very relevant thought for us these days.
A great pianist and a person with a good soul and heart, in which a lot of love.Wonderful, interesting film.Thank you very much.
There is no doubt that Hélène has a special talent for interpreting the music of the great romantic composers, but for me her greatest interpretation is that of the Bach-Busoni chaconne for which she has no rivals.
Thank you DW for doing this. She is both one of my two favorite pianists but also such a beautiful human being.
Dear Carlos Estrella, you're welcome 😊 We're happy to hear you enjoyed the video.

Goddess, pure and simple. Yet so human.
Toute à la fois romantique, jolie , persévérante, drôle, prévenante, classique et moderne : bref : une femme accomplie !!🎉

Absolutely amazing personality. All the best to her!
Stunning musician and one of my favorite piano players. I have most her catalogue.
Yes she made everything effortless, u will understand her phrase even without the score that’s how beautiful she is
I had a friend who worked with her on her album Water, he said she was just as kind and beautiful on the inside as she was on the out.
She is, isn't she? Thanks for sharing this personal story with us!
She's been my fave pianist for years. Love love her Brahms

Music is the true language of the spirit

I was Lucky enough to see her in concert Back in February of this year. She is beyond Talented. Such a pleasure to listen to her Play .

I met her twice back in the mid 1990's after seeing some of her concerts. I was young and so in love with her. Now she is an icon.
Great pianist. A joy to hear her play.
She's a great pianist!
Those FULL LIFE FILLED OPEN eyes...how wonderful
Interesting to meet a more mature Hélène. Thank you, DW Classical Music.
We're glad you enjoyed it 😊
this interview really help kick me into a higher gear... Amazing person ...
Her recordings of the Brahms' Op 116-119 are spectacular.
She's also stupendous live.

А Сальери?
See you soon in Munich
The tree she was caressing had “H + M” carved into it. I wonder if she and her husband did that or if it’s just a coincidence
А что?
She is very good, but sometimes her left hand gets a bit heavy on the keyboard.
