I may be mistaken, but I think this was shortly after Helene’s return to performing after her bout with stomach cancer. In an interview, she spoke of the “urgency” with which she now approaches her playing in public, and her desire to be “an open channel” between the composer and the listeners. This all shows on her face and in her demeanor as she plays.
Belle Hèlène :vous avez beaucoup de talent, de simplicité et de sensibilité...j'aime aussi votre engagement pour les loups, ! Je vous ai entendu à La Roque d'Anthéron : ce fut magique de nous retrouver en Provence ( notre terre natale ! )..
El piano de Helena y la noche del 17.09.2019 Sólo esa forma tan suya, salvajemente emotiva de vivir el piano y tocar la vida, puede explicar lo que sentí la noche del 17 de septiembre, cuando el Ecuador aprobó por fin algo que, hace tres años, empezó en esta callada sala de la casa. Sólo este Preludio de Bach, interpretado así por tan enloquecedora artista francesa, a la que amo más que a mi Francia entera, en apenas un minuto puede decir mejor que nada y que nadie, todo lo que sentí. Helene Grimaud, la mejor pianista del mundo, protectora de lobitos, niña prodigio, es la Única que pudo expresar el callado recuerdo de esta inolvidable noche septembrina. Oírla y verla para comprender por qué:
Hélène Grimaud est l'évanescence de la Femme portée à son paroxysme, beauté, grâce, profondeur du sentiment, incommensurable talent, elle nous accueille dans son univers fait de charme et de partage, elle arrive à nous faire accéder à l'inaccessible en gardant la pureté musicale de son âme, c'est un loup solitaire qui aime sa meute, curieux non ! Chapeau Madame, et un grand merci !
Gunter é sempre um grande prazer ouvir os seus esplendorosos vídeos, frutos de um gosto impar! Helene Grimaud toca com todas as forças de sua alma! Adorei! Abraços, Araci.
@jlz26 C'est que la vidéo commence a la moitié du prélude sinon c'est plutôt 2 min 24 par exemple pour Glenn Gould qui le joue un peu plus rapidement et Edwin Fisher 1min 24 !
Moi j'aime bien le tempo ! Par contre celui qui a posté la vidéo en a coupé une partie car le prélude démarre à plus de la moitié de la partition. Je peux en parler car je joue moi-même ce prélude. Dommage qu'il ne soit pas donné au complet car j'aime beaucoup les interprétations d'Hélène Grimaud mais merci quand même pour le partage.
Comment vous dire ā quel point je vous admire et vous aime, pour votre genie, votre sensibilité hors du commun, pour votre talent (un mot bien médiocre!!!), pour vos interprétations hors du commun, pour vos Engagements pour les loups (j'ai d'ailleurs des terriers Bedlingtons qui ont en allemand le surnom de "loups déguisés en brebis"), et je ne sais pas quoi ajouter encore. En février vous viendrez à Luxembourg et j'attends avec une telle impatience de vous voir la premiére fois. Tage care on you, et un grand bisou à vous, tout en espérant que cette expression ne vous paraîtra pas trop vulgaire. Est-ce-que vous seriez d'accord pour nous interprêtant en prime la Moon shine sonato de Beethoven lors de votre séjour á Luxembourg? Un grand, grand, grand Merci à vous, Jhos Levy.
Other recordings of this piece by Ms. Grimaud are slightly faster, and I prefer that... But Ms. Grimaud is consistent in playing from the heart and not tied to a metronome...I find her interpretations of Bach, Chopin, Rachmaninov to resonate with how I hear the music should be played. She seems to know exactly what will thrill and fascinate this jaded old musician... Bravo.
Her slow interpretation has grown on me, even though at first I thought it too slow. It's really quite beautiful. After all, tempo is always subjective. Just because a piece has usually been played a certain way doesn't necessarily mean that is what the composer intended.
She has a strong French influence in her performance. Besides these origional works were set to paper as guidelines. I have seen even contempoary handwritten compositions that are difficult to read and interpret. I had the good fortune to speak to one composer. No pedal he said but later said yes you may use a little.I enjoy the French approach. They breathe new life into the piece. The fact she is beautiful is complementry to her delivery.
Effectivement comme beaucoup d'œuvres de cette époque. Donc chacun fait selon sa sensibilité. Je pense qu'il ne faut pas le jouer trop vite car on perd alors la beauté des modulations. 🎹
I didn't want to make an absolute claim, I just wanted to express my feelings. As regards to duration, (slow-not slow), I was not referring to an absolute measurement, but only to duration as I perceived it. To give an example, when you are relaxed and the road is free you may drive slowly and not feel to be slow, if you are in a hurry, you may drive faster and feel that you are slow.
It's a beautiful and simple prelude (simple for Bach's standards). She could've kept it that way but--a bit unfortunately--she pressured the score into becoming some sort of concert piece that, IMHO, is not.
w.t.f. dont you understand about Bach? It's deep, romantic, psycotic, just about everything that surrounds your daily life. Just listen. It'll change you son.
I'm not sure why this was uploaded. I mean, obviously Helene Grimaud is extremely attractive, but that's well understood. Why not post an entire performance rather than an excerpt? If not just to obsess on her looks, and that's kind of cheesy in my view.
No te preocupes mi amor, tu esto lo tocas demasiado lento, y yo seguramente demasiado rápido (lo toco lo más rápido posible, porque me aburre un poco), el final es un fracaso, el final correcto es como un poco efectista; te confieso que no sé muy bien como tocar esto, y creo que podemos practicar juntos; cuando lo creas conveniente pon el preludio entero, que has puesto más o menos la segunda mitad
This video is another mistake of Grimaud. The other is the record of Beethovens Concerto, which she is very far way of the understanding. She commited a great mistakey in respect of the Prelude, thinking that nobody is hearing, only looking at his face, which by the way, dont agree with any part of the music, in reason or the fact that she really only conclude a musical frase in the end. There are many possibilities, wich doesnt explore, many harmonies , many tension and relax inside it.
Raquel de Toledo, I’m not exactly sure what it is you’re saying. Helene Grimaud can hardly ever be accused of “making a mistake”. Her technique is universally believed to be perfect in the pieces she plays. And to suggest the she cares more about folks “seeing her face” than she does about what she is playing betrays on your part that you know very little about Helene Grimaud.
Julien Walther, Helene Grimaud is so well known because she is one of the very best pianists in the world. Just what is it that you think is ridiculous? And to use the word “egocentric” betrays your lack of knowledge and understanding of this pianist. You might want to learn a bit more about her background and experience before you casually toss those words around.

La Musica di Bach ridona l'Anima. Se ti smarrisci vai da Bach e vedrai se non è vero 😊❤
Hermosura
❤️❤️❤️! Beauté du monde !
🙏merci Mme !
Eccellente interpretazione! Sempre più brava!
Aussi belle que touchante. Elle est dans un autre monde quand elle joue. J'aime particulièrement quand elle interprète Bach.
Moi aussi

excel-lent interpretació, gràcies Hélène Grimaud.
The Nikolayeva rendition of the first prelude is beautiful.
This rendition is absolutely breathtaking. Stunning..
Maravilhoso !!!!!!!!!!!
c'est notre Fée de la Musique ,et il faut saluer sa lumiere qui sexprime pendant qu'elle joue ;ayons les yeux du coeur comme le souhaitait St Exupery
Fantástico
Unique and beautiful interpretation.
@58Barroco Solo había un hombre sobre la tierra que interpretaba todas las obras de Bach de manera magistral ese era Glenn Gould

Excellent ! slow mode ! in state of trance ! Very beautifull !
bellissimo questo brano
just waohh !!!!!!! sublime !
man she's a goddess
Sublime et Clip exquis !
Hélène Grimaud est l'évanescence de la Femme portée à son paroxysme, beauté, grâce, profondeur du sentiment, incommensurable talent, elle nous accueille dans son univers fait de charme et de partage, elle arrive à nous faire accéder à l'inaccessible en gardant la pureté musicale de son âme, c'est un loup solitaire qui aime sa meute, curieux non !

With her acting skills she can try it in Hollywood!
La beauté & la sensibilité de Hélène donnent une dimension en plus a cette Prélude de Bach si simple...Quelle grâce!
Beautiful! Both of you
props to piano too
ne sono profondamente convinto:prima o poi sposerò questa donna !
Gunter é sempre um grande prazer ouvir os seus esplendorosos vídeos, frutos de um gosto impar! Helene Grimaud toca com todas as forças de sua alma! Adorei! Abraços, Araci.
MAGNIFIQUE....
Un rostro muy bello, una expresión de gran serenidad, y ¡Bach! con lo que ello significa
Silence de la mar 🎼🎼👏👏👌👌

Il manque le début du prélude et la fugue.
C'est triste de ne pas respecter une œuvre de Bach.
🎹
J'allai le dire!! C'est exactement ça!! C'est peu etre meme ça, sa difficulté!
SUBLIME MERCI MADAME
Un régal ! Dommage qu'on n'est pas le prélude en entier !!!
Il est étonnant de ne pas jouer la fugue qui n'est pas difficile à jouer pour les grands pianistes.
🎹
Dommage qu'on ne puisse pas écouter le prélude en entier, c'est tellement bien joué!
Le prélude est joué en entier, c'est la fugue qui manque.
🎹
Thankyou for this tempo
Hélène Grimaud: God given...
Le clip ne dure qu'une minute et onze secondes, on peut jouer ce prelude plus rapidement mais qu'en restera t-il ?
Lindíssima edição jlz26! Adorei!
HELLO HELENE
She looks very young
О романтическом вожделении

Jhos Levy.
why just the second part?
1.25 speed sounds like a honky tonk piano underwater
😃😃😃😃😃😃!!
@jlz26 Il commence pas au début, c'est pour cela ! Si tu avais écouter au moins, tu pourrais peut etre lui donner des leçons de tempo ^^
I agree with some earlier comments. I also like this pianist (a lot!), but the way she plays this piece just feels a bit too slow.
E C S T A S Y
ეს ქალბატონი არის გურამ დოჩანაშვილის ანამარია!

You are.

What is french influence? I am a beginner piano student, and I would be grateful if you briefly explain it. Thank you. Best regards
💜🩷💜
"Ce que pense, tu deviens.
Ce que tu entends, tu attires.
Ce qu'images créent. Tu es élégante bonne Patrizia
No está completo... precioso
Hmm. She really loves this piece.
These facial expressions are killing me.
I thought ahe was going to fall hard on the floor at the end lmao
@jlz26 Ce prélude ne propose aucune indication de tempo ...
Effectivement comme beaucoup d'œuvres de cette époque.
Donc chacun fait selon sa sensibilité.
Je pense qu'il ne faut pas le jouer trop vite car on perd alors la beauté des modulations.
🎹
Why does this only begin half way through???
Voir cette vidéo. Comprendre la cause de la Guerre de Troie… 😉
más rapido y mas matizado.
Et le début ???? Il manque les 21 premières mesures, içi c'est pas tik-tok que je sache !
Listen to Nikolayeva
Aussi belle que touchante.
Ridiculous emoting--- YIKES !
As much as I admire her good looks and great playing, in this case I must agree with my fellow Air France passenger: marketing.
Ausgezeichnet.
Love Grimaud but... This is not Bach.
I didn't want to make an absolute claim, I just wanted to express my feelings. As regards to duration, (slow-not slow), I was not referring to an absolute measurement, but only to duration as I perceived it. To give an example, when you are relaxed and the road is free you may drive slowly and not feel to be slow, if you are in a hurry, you may drive faster and feel that you are slow.
Forgive my agressivity it was too much but i know and appreciate Hélène and i'm furious cause i read always the same jokes about her

Qualcuno potrebbe dire alla Grimaud che guardare per aria e fare smorfie non cambia il fatto che il.preludio l'abbia suonato una schifezza.
Nothing that Helene Grimaud plays ever sounds “like crap”. She is too talented for that.
etwas zu hart
Hogy miminden fér bele egyetlen percbe!!!! : Altitudo=mélység/magasság... Ezt is Helén képes elénk varázsolni. (Tegye, tehesse még sok-sok évig!)

I agree with you 100%.
@TheERICVDB Are you blind? Look at her? Why are you so agressiv?
Bach is NOT a romantic !!!!!
It's true, when we listen many pieces of Bach, we know that he is very different of Chopin.
And Bach has played organ and harpsichord and not piano!
🎹
Ridiculous
Don't like this. Very harsh and indifferent :(
C'est ridicule! Ce "clip" commence à la mesure 25 de la partition, qui en compte 35! En plus, en français le C anglo-saxon s'appelle ut ou do!
Grotesques ses simagrées
tellement ridicule et égocentrique!¨comment elle peut être si connue?????
Julien Walther, Helene Grimaud is so well known because she is one of the very best pianists in the world. Just what is it that you think is ridiculous? And to use the word “egocentric” betrays your lack of knowledge and understanding of this pianist.

I love this pianist, but not this interpretation: too slow, too romantic. I know, she is romantic, but in this case it is a little bit too much.
