As a teenager more than half a century ago I received this jewel as a gift from Maria Grinberg. And here is another magician giving it back to me just as chrystal-clear and unspoiled.
Her performance brings out an aspect of the music which I had not noticed before: the Tempest is a swirling collection of miniature motifs. Grimaud brilliantly and delicately executes while exhibiting elemental power.
Piano Maestro Hélène Grimaud is a Musical Princess! It seems to be she had played piano since 1 to 2 years old until today! She seems to be a perfect woman in appearance and in her musical profession as well! The whole world adore and admired her musical contributions! Many thanks to her musical performances and God Bless
And I also felt that I was hearing “The Tempest” for the first time. I was simply blown away!! In my humble opinion, Helene is one of the very best pianists in the world.
Какое же великое произведение - 17-я соната. Иногда мне кажется, что Бетховен его создал для того, чтобы дать возможность выдающимся исполнителям творить самим на основе этого гениального материала. Например: Кемпф, Рихтер, Гульд, Аргерих играют абсолютно по-разному, каждый по-своему, и каждый -гениально. Я просто потрясён интерпретацией Элен Гримо. Игра настолько совершенна, что ты ощущаешь и страсть и холод одновременно. Блистательно, чудесно. Спасибо.
hacía tiempo no escuchaba a Grimaud.- Tengo la impresión de que ha crecido más aún si cabe.- Esta versión de la *Tempestad* suena como algo nuevo.- Como recién escrita, leida tal como está en la imaginación de Beethoven.- Como un colorido desconocido.-
Yo creía que había escuchado a esta mujer tocar el piano. En realidad es hoy cuando por primera vez me he percatado de su inmenso espíritu. Me ha hecho sentir miedo. Mucho miedo. Me ha hecho sentir que tengo un corazón. Y que hay vida pendiente de mi.
Hélène au sommet mais c'est une habitude chez elle ; belle , intelligente et pianistiquement extraordinaire. C'est son monde et elle a la grâce de nous le faire un peu partagé.C"est un cadeau du Ciel
bellissimo Allegretto. adoro la versione di Gould, ma anche di Kempff che è tutto l'opposto, come pure questa della Grimaud. il bello della classica è proprio questo; ogni grande artista mette la propria anima e sensibilità al servizio della musica e di chi la ascolta. a volte leggo dibattiti assurdi su chi è il pianista più bravo, chi la suona meglio, chi la suona peggio....stupidaggini.
She is a person outside the normal world i saw a lot of interview of her she is..............on an other dimension....intellectually,physically,musically.......in everything......Over human.....
Der Kniff dieser Interpretation ist es den rhythmischen Allegro-Impuls des ersten Satzes über das Adagio zu tragen, um ihn im Allegretto aber überraschned wieder aufleben zu lassen. So ergibt sich ein für diese Pianistin typisch beseelter Zusammenhang der ganzen Sonate.
Amazing... the composition, the interpretation, and the execution. So beautiful. I think soloists like Grimaud are on the same plane with the original composers -- Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven. Musically, their gift is beyond normal human comprehension. But oh, is it a joy to listen to. I can't imagine what it would be like to compose or play like this.
A joyful and wonderful Piano sonata. H. G. presents delightful vibrant energetic sound, bravura, especially in the 3rd. movt.; rhythmical effect given that charming sparkle to the melody. HG performs a majestic rendition!
Eh, I like the music, but her rendition is too much about the individual performance rather than the piece at large and the 3rd movement illustrates this for me.
Matthew Chorney Just try Solomon (Cutner), Wilhelm Backhaus or Friedrich Gulda. I prefer those three pianists for Beethoven's sonatas. But Artur Schnabel is also excellent at Beethoven (even though I dislike his many mistakes). I don't like Wilhelm Kempff at all with Beethoven's sonatas. Artur Rubinstein and Krystian Zimerman also performed excellent Beethoven sonatas! :D
Perhaps one of the best Tempests I've ever heard. Always liked Hélene's playing and I'm baffled by the number of persons (even professional musicians) that dislike her. Is she to pretty to play the piano and be successful? Or Because she likes wolves? Can someone explain?
Who have you heard say they dislike her? And why wouldn't you listen to what they have to say in explanation rather than inferring politically incorrect motives for their views?
plenty have said it for whatever motive. to me, ive heard these pieces played wonderfully. now i hear her. the recording is better and she is superb. but so were they.
c' est la meilleure interprétation du 3ème mouvement de la tempête de Beethoven que j' ai jamais entendue : on entend vraiment une tempête !!!
I often return to this piece as comfort food. Just perfect on every level.
As a teenager more than half a century ago I received this jewel as a gift from Maria Grinberg. And here is another magician giving it back to me just as chrystal-clear and unspoiled.
She creates her own rhythm along with the actual rhythm 😅 this is by far the most beautiful interpretation of this piece i have ever heard!
Helene's silky touch and powerful and emotional message! Wonderful performance.
Her performance brings out an aspect of the music which I had not noticed before: the Tempest is a swirling collection of miniature motifs. Grimaud brilliantly and delicately executes while exhibiting elemental power.
I totally ❤ Hélène Grimaud’s masterful performances!
Chiaro di luna
I am so thankful to the universe for making it possible for this interpretation to reach my ears!

J'aime l'écouter. J'aime encore plus la voir jouer. L'une des meilleures pianistes au monde!
Sinon la meilleure ...
I have never heard so much passion in this piece! I loved it!
So extraordinary that I had the feeling that I was hearing "The tempest" for the first time... Amazing!!
Paulo magalhães
I came here to say just that!
Mind boggling!
The best interpretation by a long stretch!
And I also felt that I was hearing “The Tempest” for the first time. I was simply blown away!! In my humble opinion, Helene is one of the very best pianists in the world.
¡Extremadamente bello!. Gracias a Ludwig y a Helena por regalarnos esta joya musical.
This is by far the best I’ve heard of this sonata WOW so beautiful!! Nailed it
I saw her perform Ravel in Singapore, and she was fantastic. I love her take on Beethoven, too.
Love this sonata ! Brilliant composition ! Brilliant execution ! Thanks to both with deep gratitude and love , I bow low !
Wonderful performance by Helene Grimaud. Thank you! I just wish we could see her hands to make it even more perfect.
Her hands and her very expressive face!
Stupenda esecuzione! Incomparabile Beethoven nella sonata per pianoforte.
Un pur moment de magie pour cette rencontre au sommet entre la belle Hélène et le grand Ludwig.
Pour atteindre ce niveau de virtuosité; cela doit prendre des milliers d'heures de pratique. Respect!
Calidez y calidad interpretativa. Gracias H. Grimaud!!!!!!

Her interpretation is very close to kempff.
я тоже влюбилась в талант этой щупленькой француженки .
This interpretation of the Tempest III Movement is the best I ever heard.
Awesome performance, the best of this masterpiece indeed ! Thank you.
Браво пиано Элен Гримо! Волшебница! Вдохновляет волшебными звуками музыки! Спасибо! Браво!
don't know that i ever heard a beethoven piano sonata that was less than amazing.
Not only powerful but also romantically beautiful, brava!!! Thanks for sharing!
Браво Элен Гримо пиано соната 17 композитор Бетховен! Спасибо! Браво!
"When you meet a great person, ask first where his suffering is." Leon Bloy, as quoted by Helene Grimaud in Wild Harmonies: A Life of Music and Wolves
A very sad but stoic sonata by Beethoven. Helene is interpreting it trancendental especially in the third movement. We shall overcome!
hacía tiempo no escuchaba a Grimaud.- Tengo la impresión de que ha crecido más aún si cabe.- Esta versión de la *Tempestad* suena como algo nuevo.- Como recién escrita, leida tal como está en la imaginación de Beethoven.- Como un colorido desconocido.-
Gorgeous performance, gorgeous performer. Just a splendid combination.
For this masterpiece, I've listened to 70 to 80 versions performed by different pianists, and you are the best !!
I have listened to 71 to 81 different versions. She is definitely not the best.
@@geoffg3268 so which one IS the best ?
Yo creía que había escuchado a esta mujer tocar el piano.
En realidad es hoy cuando por primera vez me he percatado de su inmenso espíritu.
Me ha hecho sentir miedo. Mucho miedo.
Me ha hecho sentir que tengo un corazón. Y que hay vida pendiente de mi.
Helen is very beautiful and talanted pianist!)
absolutely fantastic performance of this masterpiece
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
The more I listen to your beautiful music, the more I love you!!!
Love everything this excellent woman does and performs wow!!!
Una interpretación casi sobrenatural, fascinante. Adoro a Hélène.
Un Beethoven oscuro, profundo, en una versión impecable
The most interesting and nice interpretation! Excellent!
Subscriu!
absolutely fantastic interpretation!
Una composición magistral y una interprete fascinante
I agree with her interpretation more than any other I've heard so far.
Aaron Hall have you heard Maria João Pires' version?
w o w ! .... thought gilels channeled beethoven perfectly but this is tempestuous!
Che brava, che bello. Grazie Helene ❤
Magnifique! Absolument magnifique!
Hélène au sommet mais c'est une habitude chez elle ; belle , intelligente et pianistiquement extraordinaire. C'est son monde et elle a la grâce de nous le faire un peu partagé.C"est un cadeau du Ciel
Jean-Marc COSTE entièrement d’accord
Maravillosamente espléndida en su técnica.
A stunning performance!
Artista EXCELENTE , BELLEZA unica !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am pretty sure this is how Beethoven meant this to be played 😃
No. This IS NOT how Beethoven meant this to be played. It's a allegretto, not a presto ! I can't even hear the drop of the rain. It's just "brutal".
Very thoughtful and creative playing. Such tiny details as the one at 11:12 show her originality of thought.
Exceptionnel ! Quelle musicalité
Hellen Grimaud hace soñar con sus ejecuciones hermosas
Браво , Элен ! Бетховен был бы доволен . ❤
BRAVO HELENE!!! We Love You! Come soon to Guadalajara México!!!
Magnifique interpretation❤
ピアノの演奏は今迄聴いた事のないぐらい新鮮だ!!

Elles sont comme ça les filles à Aix en Provence....
Ahahahah elle est géniale celle là
Quel talent !

She is so beautiful!!!
+Anna Stepanov and plays amazing, of course...
+Anna Stepanov Yes, I agree! Not least, a gorgeous smile which could melt any man's heart! She is also one of the best pianists in the world!
+zeuszeus00 Totally agree. A very enigmatic look though... I must say.
+Daniel Urbina As if she's getting away with something :D
You are correct, but I don't know why I don't like this woman.
best interpretation of the tempest sonata evA ♥️ just streaming perfection
Amazing... the composition, the interpretation, and the execution. So beautiful. I think soloists like Grimaud are on the same plane with the original composers -- Mozart, Brahms, Beethoven. Musically, their gift is beyond normal human comprehension. But oh, is it a joy to listen to. I can't imagine what it would be like to compose or play like this.
H.G. ..sie ist immer super. Danke für diese Musik
Wunderschoene Interpretation!!! Herzlichen Dank, liebe Helene!!!
21:08 clear and nice work
Amazing!
Toujours exceptionnelle...!

Superb, lively, confident and insightful.
Hélène, Bravoooo!!!!
This third movement is probably the most impressive play i've heard of it. To me this is the best rendition of the tempest sonata, close to Barenboim.
très belle interprétation...mais celle de Wilhem Kempff!.....inégalée....pour moi.
Eh, I like the music, but her rendition is too much about the individual performance rather than the piece at large and the 3rd movement illustrates this for me.
Matthew Chorney Just try Solomon (Cutner), Wilhelm Backhaus or Friedrich Gulda. I prefer those three pianists for Beethoven's sonatas. But Artur Schnabel is also excellent at Beethoven (even though I dislike his many mistakes).
I don't like Wilhelm Kempff at all with Beethoven's sonatas. Artur Rubinstein and Krystian Zimerman also performed excellent Beethoven sonatas! :D
Oh, you haven’t listened to Richter’s interpretations, then, neither the studio nor the live recordings.
nobody plays appassionata better than richter!
No words best in best literally 😍😍😍😍
Muito obrigada, Helene! Sua interpretação é magistral!
Oh my god, so beatiful girl, so beatiful interpretation.
Not since Jeno Jando. Beautiful.
Bravo!
Blue heart, from your blue eyes!!! Love them!
...I seem to be late to the party. Incredible interpretation!
Interpretación extraordinaria!!!
彼女の演奏は素晴らしい。表現力が抜群であると感じる。
彼女? No, he is man.
Nous revons avec votre music
best version out there
BRAVO HELENE
Great! I really enjoyed...
she is so beautiful
Masterpiece ✨✨😁😁
Un régal ...
Bravíssimo!!!

This is a truly great performance, even better than Pollini's and Schanabel's.
Meravigliosa, grazieeee

著書「野生のしらべ」を感じさせる、くらい新鮮で心に沁みわたる演奏である。
In english, please!
This is the best version of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 "Storm"!!!
I believe it was the "Tempest" Sonata. Not the "Storm" Sonata
Magnifica.
