Hélène Grimaud

Synopsis/Details

Under the title “The Last Testament”, pianist Hélène Grimaud proposes a musical journey of exceptional intensity and depth, which brings together the last piano sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert.

Beethoven’s Sonata No. 32 is a visionary work that concentrates an enormous expressive universe in two movements. For its part, Schubert’s Sonata No. 21, written a few months before his death, offers music of moving serenity and profundity.

Hélène Grimaud is one of the most influential pianists of our time and her career has led her to perform with many of the world’s leading orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic, and under the baton of great conductors such as Riccardo Muti, Daniel Barenboim and Zubin Mehta.
