Difficult to tell, when you give us only the final movement. Seems this is DG’s business model: Advertise with one extract from a performance, and then wait for us to purchase the whole recording. Unethical; unfair. And, because of this, I no longer buy DG. There are plenty of excellent recordings available. Handing us just one movement is like giving a person one chapter of a book and expecting him/her to know the entire story and how “good” it is. This is an egregious sales tactic; not to be pandered to.
A real elegant woman never loses her charm, even when she grows old. It's not because she uses the best cosmetic technique to preserve a youthful look. It's because of her wisdom, her humanity, and the beauty emerging from her every smile and every gesture - and in this case, every note coming from her finger. Hélène Grimaud is one of such ladies.
This is why I love Miss Hélène Grimaud: she's secret, discreet, almost erased in our social world, but she shines for the music she performs ! Her universe is classical music, and she enjoys it ! Thanks for sharing this performance.
.......and that was without a conductor....the communication between Helene and the orchestra was wonderful to behold.....a magnificent performance ....sometimes the conductor inhibits the musicians. Helene is highly underated....a wonderful pianist!
For years I've been thinking classical music can and should be played among friends in casual attire and sitting around each other. But could never find any artist doing this. Until now. Wonderful
I have only recently discovered this piece on RUclips. It's become my absolute favourite. It's crisp, melodic and almost jazz !! What I love about it is the way she communicates the exuberance of the piece to the orchestra who clearly react and love playing with her. The thanks and love she gives them at the end and their response is a joy.
Helen Grimaud is my favorite piano player of Mozart's piano concertos. Mozart's concerto No. 20 is wonderful. Also her playing of Piano Concerto No. 23: II.Adagio. I must have watched the video of her piano concerto No. 23 at least 30 times. Both the music and her playing are magnificent. So is the videography.
In the multitude of so much "Piano Stars" on Classical Music, she is a really Piano Artist in the deepest sense. Sensibility is a rare comodity in this days of marketing musicians...
Dear Mrs. M° Grimaud, I have listened with great pleasure to your Mozart piano concerto nr. 20 in D minor, K.466, a wonderful interpreter you and immense Mozart. I admire you very much and for your technique and for overcoming difficulties. Congratulations and cordial and friendly wishes. Giovanni
I've heard oodles of recordings of K466. Though this is just the 3rd movement, I loved the way Helene played it. With lift and effervescence. There is plenty of love in her playing. Now, I want to hear this whole recording. The Camerata Salzburg Chamber Orchestra sounds wonderful. They play it with wide-eyed enthusiasm and plenty of skill. Nice clip!
di fronte alla grandezza di questa splendida donna e raffinata interprete ci si può solo inchinare, alzarsi in piedi e standing ovation. Oggi sono pochissimi nel mondo, solo la Argerich credo, che sappiano interpretare Mozart con tanta profondità e naturalezza. Meravigliosa..
I was wondering about what happened to this amazing pianist. Wow what a wonderful recording. Clearly able to see how much she is enjoying playing with this orchestra.
Ni signe of this argentinian on the web. She married her photograph, got a cancer, adopted two children... In summer 22 she has lots of concerts in Germany. ....?
@@lemokolyon,….what is the source for the info you just posted? To my knowledge, Helene Grimaud has no children, did not marry her photographer companion. And finally, what Argentinian soccer player?
Have for long been an admirer. Yet in such a can't-wait-get-it-all-over-with an approach here so that the Mozartian spell is lost, that am regrettably unable to compliment but her ever-impeccable technique.
I am no connoisseur or expert, but the joy and passion of this performance is truly uplifting, especially in these times. Sometimes I wish we could all just listen to the music, and forget about the many pretensions that seem to suffuse the world of classical music, all music, actually. Wonderful and uplifting performance from both pianist and orchestra ❤️☯️🙏
I agree entirely..... it's uplifting and sparkles. A Lot of people get so wound up over this soloists interpretation, or that persons. Listen to it for what it is, a great piece of music played by a superb soloist. She probably interpreted in style of Beethoven, as we are told, he wrote the cadenza.
She is one of the few truly virtuous pianists of this current day even as we’re living in a golden age that eclipses the first renaissance, so there are simply “more” gifted geniuses and better media to amplify them.
Elle ne change pas .... Le temps n'a pas d'emprise sur elle... Quelle chance ! Toujours aussi belle même dans la maturité... Et le talent surtout !! Lui est constant aussi....
My beloved Hélène you are back! This is absolutely fantastic! Stay and never ever leave! Favorite Mozart Piano Concerto + favorite Pianist: what else could I ask for? Epic.
Jesus. This is on fire. A great tempo and some really fine orchestral playing. Mozart is best when there is some real intensity. Too often it is played like people have wet dishrags for hands.
Hélène is one of my favourite contemporary pianists and I cannot decide between except when listening to them and then the one I am listening to is my favourite but both appeal because they combine intellect and passion and musicianship, and they are immersed emotionally. Of the concert platform they are both articulate, have a sense of humour and are delightful communicators about their art.
Just one year ago and in the middle of COVID. Maybe she needed Mozart, a re visit with a whole set of new feelings. So many brains are rewired now (unhappily). A performance at this level deserves notice and an audience. Let us be that. Brava and many more such.
Toujours des « connaisseurs » pour critiquer hein? Et si on laissait tout simplement son interprétation toucher ceux qui y sont réceptifs et si les critiques musicaux improvisés passaient juste leur chemin? C’est aussi ça l’art: ne laisser personne indifférent. En cela, Grimaud a toujours été à la hauteur! Intransigeante et non consensuelle. Quelle prodigieuse artiste....
Excellent performance!!! I truly enjoy this album. Each time I return to listen to it, there is always more I hear. Absolutely gorgeous with so much heart & liveliness from Hélène & orchestra! 👏👏❤️
I apologise for adding a further comment. This is so much of a favourite. I have two favourite pianists of all time: the first is Jacques Loussier; the send is this lady. I was very lucky to hear JL play live at a concert in Worcester; I should love to be present to hear HG play - as well as Mozart as well as jazz !!
Took me a really long time to realise that the cellist looks left-handed because she's being reflected in the piano (0:54). I had all kinds of questions about the practicalities of bow collisions and thinking she must have her own desk etc.
Always been a big fan of Helene, especially her Brahms. But her Mozart really blows me away. My go to performers for Mozart in the past were Brendel, Uchida, Kovacevich. Now after hearing Grimaud’s version of K466 and K.488, hope she can record more Mozart. K.467 and K.482 would be awesome. And especially K.491 but there for me Gould’s idiosyncratic one will always be my fave.
There are dozens of very good recordings of Mozart's incredibly brilliant late piano concertos... but there was only ONE Mozart... that's what's important... when I listen I don't hear Grimaud... I hear my friend Mozart who gave ME, personally a great gift for which I can never repay him. ----- to me the pianists and orchestras are reproduction machines. We're lucky there are way more than we need.
Generally I find the slow movement of a piano concerto to be the most emotionally affecting, but in the case of Mozart's No. 20 it's the third movement. I love those runs toward the end.
After this very long break between the recordings - what are your thoughts about Hélène Grimaud's interpretation of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20?
I love how romantically she plays classical repertoire. very appealing
All I know is that at 0:15, you can tell she was happy!
Simply sublime. Can't wait to buy the album and see her perform live again!
This is not Mozart, she's hammering the piano pure garbage.

I absolutely adore Helene Griaumud's piano playing of any Mozart piano concertos.

It's because of her wisdom, her humanity, and the beauty emerging from her every smile and every gesture - and in this case, every note coming from her finger. Hélène Grimaud is one of such ladies.
What a great cadenza... splendid finger movement and optimal tempo~!! Bravissimo~ Hélène Grimaud, what a respectful pianist~!!
Thanks for listening
This is why I love Miss Hélène Grimaud: she's secret, discreet, almost erased in our social world, but she shines for the music she performs ! Her universe is classical music, and she enjoys it ! Thanks for sharing this performance.
The greatest introduction to a musical movement that I know.
I have always thought the same!!
.......and that was without a conductor....the communication between Helene and the orchestra was wonderful to behold.....a magnificent performance ....sometimes the conductor inhibits the musicians. Helene is highly underated....a wonderful pianist!
For years I've been thinking classical music can and should be played among friends in casual attire and sitting around each other. But could never find any artist doing this. Until now. Wonderful
Big fan. Never miss her concert when she is in town.
Thanks God, Mozart is played by one of the best female poanist. I like it so much! So intense, vivid, graceful...
Quel plaisir et quelle joie que le retour d'Hélène Grimaud interprétant Mozart
One of my favorite pianists, absolutely beautiful performance.
Helene has returned!!!😭❤️
What a joy to hear and see with that gorgeous smile which illuminates her colleagues!
Fantastic camera works. He understands the music and the dynamics of the play. Not to mention, foremost to Mozart and to the pianist.
I have only recently discovered this piece on RUclips. It's become my absolute favourite. It's crisp, melodic and almost jazz !! What I love about it is the way she communicates the exuberance of the piece to the orchestra who clearly react and love playing with her.

ketcketc Sad story, she took up with an Argentinian soccer player who treated her badly and had NO time for classical music.
@@glenngouldification Who was that?
Ni signe of this argentinian on the web.
She married her photograph, got a cancer, adopted two children...
In summer 22 she has lots of concerts in Germany.

Une fois de plus, magique ! Quelle fougue notre { pour nous toutes et tous à l’international, ...NOTRE HÉLÈNE adorée. Quel talent, quelle FEMME. !
Wolfgang rettet die Welt mit seiner Musik.
ja ,das wär noch was....
I love the way Helene plays Mozart. Totally in control.
she's looking FRESH and FIERCE and it is AMAZING
It's fantastic as you can see that the musicians have just as much fun as the listeners!
Helene plays Mozart so well. She amazes me!
Passion! You can tell the pianist AND the orchestra are delighting in what they are doing. Great stuff!
The orchestra plays with more bravura than it usually does but its attention to detail is remarkable! Bravo!
She is one of the few truly virtuous pianists of this current day even as we’re living in a golden age that eclipses the first renaissance, so there are simply “more” gifted geniuses and better media to amplify them.
Your happiness is pure gold. I cant wait to see you playing so vividly and passionate. True gift
Elle ne change pas .... Le temps n'a pas d'emprise sur elle... Quelle chance ! Toujours aussi belle même dans la maturité... Et le talent surtout !! Lui est constant aussi....
Mozart unlocks something in her! Ive never heard her play this way!
My beloved Hélène you are back! This is absolutely fantastic! Stay and never ever leave!

EXACTLY! WELL SAID!
I am laughing so hard.
It's an awful tempo - it sounds like fairground music!
If you listen to mozart onperiodic instruments it definitely has an epicness to it
I have wondered why sometimes I don't love Mozart. Now, I think I may know: wet dishrag hands!
Helene is such a badass on the piano. You can tell she came to PLAY.

Incroyable ! Le retour d'Hélène Grimaud... Quel plaisir !
Wouldn't be surprised if Mozart himself performed it that way - perfect (and the orchestra too). Well done Helene and Camerata Salzburg !
Excellent performance!!! I truly enjoy this album. Each time I return to listen to it, there is always more I hear. Absolutely gorgeous with so much heart & liveliness from Hélène & orchestra! 👏👏❤️
Amo Helene Grimaud . simplesmente maravilhosa.
ungeheuere innere spannung, explosiv, jagend und mitreissend , absolute weltklasse...lg hh
On fire, yes - burning, burning - Mozart would have loved this. Looks like real fun.
I wonder who was receiving those beautiful smiles?
Woodwind. Very sharp!

Hi Peter,
I love (d😥) Jacques Loussier too. In the same vein go and look for Eugen Cicero. Hope you enjoy listening.
Es un gran placer escuchar a Hélène nuevamente, gracias por compartir tu talento!!!!
Content de savoir qu'elle va bien, elle m'avait tellement manqué.
BRAVO!
( sin palabras y sin sonido BRAVO!!!!!)
Took me a really long time to realise that the cellist looks left-handed because she's being reflected in the piano (0:54).

better use a mirror practising next time 🤓
Mi piace il suo sorriso, il poco maquillage, la capigliatura “nature”. La giacca di ottimo gusto.
Remarquable en tous points !!!🎉 Interprétation, captation, vidéo ! Un grand bravo
Thank you so much, for the joy of playing this and giving it to us.
Diante de apresentação espetacular, sublime, meu coração simplesmente diz Bravíssimo Bravíssimo Bravíssimo Bravíssimo Bravíssimo Bravíssimo ❤
Ich liebe ihre ganz spezielle Ausdrucksweise auch bei Bach wunderbar ! ❤
女性ピアニストでは、古くはマルタアルゲリッチ、MJピリス、そしてエレングリモー、こうしたピアニストは天性のタッチの良さを持っている。どんな曲を弾いてもハイレベルの感動を届けてくれる。
Helene, fabelhaft wie immer! Herzlichen Dank!!! Aus São Paulo/Brasilien.
I love your smile while you playing.
Absolutely bloody brilliant!
played with a jazz like feel -groovy!
C est toujours une expérience incroyable. Hélène est un être apart c sur
ПЕРЕПЛЕЛОСЯ? ВСЁ? ДОРО СО ЗЛОМ И МУДРОСТЬ С ГЛУПОСТЬЮ ? БОРЬБА
Brilliant as always..always will be a fan...Helene.
Always been a big fan of Helene, especially her Brahms. But her Mozart really blows me away. My go to performers for Mozart in the past were Brendel, Uchida, Kovacevich.

Messenger of joy here again ...
That's quite a cadenza in the first movement. Fireworks!
Très bonne interprétation, tempo parfait.... bonne prise de son...
Pure joy. Wow!
Le performance della solista,del direttore e dell'orchestra sono ottime,grazie a loro,a W.A.Mozart e a voi della Deutesche Grammophon!!!
Браво,Елен!
Generally I find the slow movement of a piano concerto to be the most emotionally affecting, but in the case of Mozart's No. 20 it's the third movement. I love those runs toward the end.
Could this performance be any better? Both the orchestra and Helene are in top form.
Stunning. Marvelously performed.
5'23-5'37, pure extase. Très beau concert, intense et pourtant dépouillé d'apprêt et de solennité.
Me encanta verlos y escuch
arlos; aunque haya sido hace tiempo ...
I purchase every new album she recordst, on compact disc, without hesitation.
Francamente no la había escuchado hasta ahora y me dejó muy bien impresionada,joven muy buena y segura. Muchas gracias por compartir su vídeo 👌👌👌
I would love to see her in concert with the Berliner Philharmoniker!!
This interpretation is by far the most exhilarating! Beautiful powerful! Bravo
Loved it ! Seen in San Juan, Puerto Rico. 🇵🇷
Cette beauté sonore
Mein ewiger Freund, Wolfgang. Viele Grüße aus dem sonnigen Duisburg. Roland.
Absolutely perfekt and wonderful!
Te felicito Helene sos una maravillosa pianista y muy hermosa te felicito😊
good to see the wolf lady back
Magnifica performance de Helene Grimaud
Very clean recording and excellent performance. It is really hard to find a recording this clean even in spotify etc. Good Work.

അഭിനന്ദനങ്ങൾ അറിയിക്കുന്നു ❤️❤️❤️❤️
