I have just listened to an interview with Polina Osetinskaya, and now this. I love them both as musicians and as individuals. Yet they are very different, and their musical sensibility is different. That is the beauty of music. A Russian Woman and a French Woman, and both bring to their music the personality of their culture and there are differences, and whilst I listen to each one they are my favourites as I listen. The riches of our age are sometimes lost in the snags ad problems but is it not marvelous that listening with in three hours to a concert in St. Petersburg, and one in Dresden then Hélène in France one can enjoy three great musicians and be in a position to be amazed and delighted? Musically this is a rich time to live.
It is not often that one can listen to a superior artist--Helene Grimaud in this instance--play magnificently & talk so intelligently and brightly about her art. And after all that one can't even take one's eyes away from her face! Surely they broke the mold after Ms. Grimaud arrived on the scene. Thank you, TH-cam, for the opportunity to see all that in one great video.
Je lis de superbes commentaires mais aussi des commentaires affligeants à la limite méchants et déplacés. Mon avis: Hélène Grimaud est une interprète talentueuse et, sans les détailler, aux multiples et riches qualités humaines. J'aime beaucoup cette unité. Un exemple!
Elle est pas seulement une pianiste hors normes , Hélène c'est une femme qui s'implique dans des projets que sont importants pour le PLANÈTE. Je crois qu'elle parle beaucoup de leur manière de voir la musique, et la vie. Si Hélène est un Exemple.
Après la découverte de cette interview, en effet, je crois bien que je n'ai plus vraiment quelque chose à dire ! La musique, ce langage si savant mais universel où même celles et ceux qui ne le connaissent pas et ne peuvent à leur tour l'enseigner peuvent tout de même par lui et entre eux communiquer. Merci de l'avoir dit mais surtout comme vous l'avez dit ❤
Dear @billybloggins: I agree with you 100% I dare to say that Abbado was greater than Karajan. Karajan was remarkable but a bit too German. Abbado shows more heart for his italian blood and his efforts to get perfection. About Helene Grimaud, she is not only beautiful, she is an outstanding pianist.
Hélène GRIMAUD et Claudio ABADDO réunis, deux personnalités prestigieuses de la grande musique. Merci TH-cam ! Mais qui peut me dire quel est le célèbre concerto interprété ici ?
In answer to your question, who is the conductor and which is the orchestra is: it is the venerable Claudio Abbado, now in his eighties; and he is conducting the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, which he formed himself in 2003. What I find moving, is that his superb Italian musician, who has conducted some of the greatest orchestras in the world, including the Berlin Phil, now finishes his long career with his own fine orchestra in one of the loveliest locations on earth. How very fitting.

@@danasheys9300 Yeah, I can't understand anything she says but DAMN she looks good saying it! Still a very attractive woman in her 50s. Disgraceful that Abbado betrayed her, and good for her for standing her ground. How foolish do you have to be to think that you can mess with a woman who hangs out with wolves?
@@PhilChildress She went from speaking no English to being fluent in something like 6 months by watching movies. I cannot even imagine being that intelligent!
What a pity, after all of her regard and affection for Abbado, they've had a falling out over which cadenza she was to play in a concerto. As if that should be his choice, and not hers.
@billybloggins : Abbado was born on June 26, 1933, he'll be 78 soon. I do hope he is totally recovered from stomach cancer. I have attended his performances in New York, London, Berlin and Salzburg. Lucerne will be my next destination
I.D. on this - Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto 2, Claudio Abbado conducting, and I believe the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra. Without the sound, they look like a wheatfield in a violent storm, but they sound absolutely beautiful. Abbado seems to encourage emotion in his musicians.
I am continually amazed at the indifference in opinions. Helene Grimaude is and has proven her absolute genius in her interpretations. GA4N should consider and read her book. I did recognize her cycle of unexplained exuberation. totally misdiagnosed for the most part, but finally recognised as genius misguided. Helene has ultimately found herself and has proven to all that her place is to be enjoyed ,credentialled and not discerned by those unworthy.
When was this video made? She has a very interesting look. I know she's French, but I wonder if she has some Scandinavian in her DNA. Her facial bone structure looks a little Middle Eastern/Indian/Spanish/Portuguese.
???? did you try to make the huge effort to come and visit south of France? She is a very standard French woman. A very pretty French woman, but a very standard face. Do not make any confusion with the "French" football team. I feel u consider French people are to be ugly.... Anyway the fact is this video is about Helène's art....not specifically her looking good.
Il est évident que ce serait mieux POUR LES ANGLO SAXONS que tout notre système solaire accepte de ne plus parler qu'anglais. The issue is: how to forbid the entire Solar system to speak any langage except english? Is it that hard to try to speak something different from english?
Сильно поражена : молодая дама , ещё и француженка , а так играет ПО-РУССКИ Рахманинова ! 👍 Браво ! 🌹 И 17 соната Бетховена ей удаётся . 👈 Думаю , сам Бетховен бы оценил благосклонно . Талантлива 👍 Привет из России ! 🇷🇺
Le vermisseau qui juge l'étoile...Ahahah. Your English is mediocre, so is your judgment, so are you in all likelyhood. Read what she wrote about Beethoven for example, that is not superficial at all. She is pure, she's not "naïve". Not arrogant at all. But she triggers so much passion, jealousy and desire that she has to protect herself from ill-intentioned or jealous people... I feel sorry for you, what you write says much about yourself, not about her... Don't you see it?
Of any criticism you might want to level on Helene Grimaud’s music, “empty” certainly is the least applicable. She plays with feeling, sensitivity and passion. From the large number of negative comments you have about Helene Grimaud, it is evident that you just don’t like her.
I am not angry , I am disappointed that a so gifted , beautiful woman could be so superficial and naive at the same time . This occurs when gift and beauty make that the person remains only in superficiality . And I am no "middle man" at all , you would be surprised , haha !
Fritz_Maisenbacher, “superficial” is a word description folks would NEVER attribute to Helene Grimaud. Her intellect, musical talent, commitment to ecological issues and social justice puts her outside the description of “superficial”. Your constant negative comments about Helene Grimaud betray a longstanding, deep dislike that is of her person and not just her musical abilities. Once again, what did Helene ever do to you to deserve such opprobrium? Apparently you just can’t find it in your heart to like her “even one little bit. Sad for you …..not for her. She doesn’t need your approval.

Helene, você é maravilhosa sob todos os aspectos! Saudações de São Paulo/Brasil!!!
J'aime tout chez elle, surtout son talent. Et ce qu'elle dit sur Claudio Abbado est tellement juste.

Helene Grimaud a stupendous misician and pianist. Claudio Abbado is the world top conductor, I wish him good health .
MUsician :)
She has a very rare gift of synesthesia and it is evident in every tone of music she creates.

Grimaudは協奏曲が良い。ダイナミックな演奏、力強い左手が持ち味。
Grimaud has good concertos. Dynamic playing, powerful left hand has it.

Η Ηelene Grimaud είναι ένα θαύμα της Φύσεως !!!
I think the French language is as beautiful as the music.
What composition is Hélène Grimaud playing in this video? Thank you.
Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano Concerto
Rachmaninoff 2nd Piano Concerto
Hard not to be in love with her
So very true!!
Übersetzung, bitte.
The French language is as beautiful as the music.

@Campions21 I don't think we disagree at all. Maybe I wasn't clear that Abbado seems to me to have been unreasonable in this.
Subtitle,please I like her Rachmaninov....I want to know what she is saying...
+TheKay830 C'est l'occasion d'apprendre quelques mots de la Langue de Molière.... si belle, si limpide ... comme cette musique !
La belle Hélène ....
S'il vous plait, qui est ce chef d'orchestre et quel est l'orchestre?
Moi je veux bien vivre juste une journée avec la belle Hélène. Et je ne la prendrai pas pour une poire.

comment s'appelle l'oeuvre qu'elle joue au debut de la vidéo?
Concerto pour piano N°2 de Sergueï Rachmaninov
Be in beauty even it's truth.
J aime.
I find it difficult to believe that anyone who can play like her can possibly be 'superficial'. That makes no sense at all.
saludos HELENE
Some girls have it all .......
Well, I do admire her and her tale t and intelligence but everybody has its dark side of the moon!
Precisely. She's so gifted, beautiful, solar, that you know you're the kind of middle man she will never even look at... and that makes you angry...
So i cant understand french......she's magnificent
elle a une talant merverille outre de pianist!
Wish I could speak french like a native.
There is room for debate on this statement......;-)
Helene joue piano non seulement pour faire musique maiis aussi pour donner quelque chose special.
😃 👍👍
awesome u.
Сильно поражена : молодая дама , ещё и француженка , а так играет ПО-РУССКИ Рахманинова ! 👍 Браво ! 🌹

Are you jealous?
She plays well , but the content is empty . Try Rosa Tamarkina in Rachmaninov if you want .

Not at all , I am a man .
Helene Grimaud , the coldest women on the piano of all times . Arrogant , sexy , superficial . Pianist , of course , but not musician at all .
par curiosite, qu'a t-elle d'arrogant et de superficiel d'apres vous ?
Fritz Maisenbacher - who the fuck do you think you are to assess how musician Helene Grimaud is ... little worm!
Couldn't disagree more.
