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.
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.
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.-
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
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.
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.....
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.
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!
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.
Beethoven, in der Musik die Dimension zweiter Ordnung, wie ich finde (...davon kam ich ja auf die Idee meine Vorstellungen der Zeit in der Physik ebenfalls so zu nennen... ) - nach Bach und Haydn und Mozart war er derjenige, der das Tor zum neunzehnten Jahrhundert darstellteund es ermöglichte... ...was ja u. a. neu war, war der rein philosophische Ansatz der Musik, die nicht mehr nur Programm- oder Auftragsarbeit war, und in der Sturmsonate finde ich vor allem interessant, wie das Hauptthema des ersten Satzes in der linken Hand eine D-Moll-Dreiklangszerlegung zum Ausgang nimmt, der in der Alt-Stimme der rechten Hand eine Melodie im Sekundabstand folgt, gleich den stürmischen Untiefen des Lebens, die aufwühlen.. denen aber kontrastierend von oben als Sonnenstrahlen hellere Töne eines der Tiefe enthobenen Seins entgegenstrahlen... ...Beethoven fängt hier schon an die strengen Kopfsatzparadigmen der Sonate aufzudifferenzieren, ohne dabei konzeptlos oder anarchistisch alles über Bord zu werfen, sondern dadurch, dass er nuanciert Varianten erfindet, die bereichern, und die individuelle Vielfalt dessen, was dann Mendelssohn-Bartholdy und Schumann aber auch Bruckner geschaffen haben, bedingt: Da wo eigentlich die Reprise sein sollte, nimmt er das Proömium der Sonate und setzt es als erneuten Anfang, da aber für eine Erweiterung des Hauptmotiv, die titanisch stürmt. Die zaghaften und wärmenden Sonnenstrahlen, die noch zuvor dort zu vernehmen waren, weichen dem sich jetzt vollständig entrollenden Sturm, der an dieser Stelle den Sieg einfährt, wobei ich ja hoffe, dass das in meiner Kalamität genau diametral ausfällt, indem mich die Sonnenstrahlen dort empfangen, wo es der Sturm nicht mehr vermag, seine hiesige Finsternis auf meine Engel und mich zu entladen. Le p'tit Daniel🐕🏒
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
c' est la meilleure interprétation du 3ème mouvement de la tempête de Beethoven que j' ai jamais entendue : on entend vraiment une tempête !!!
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 often return to this piece as comfort food. Just perfect on every level.
I totally ❤ Hélène Grimaud’s masterful performances!
Chiaro di luna
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.
Helene's silky touch and powerful and emotional message! Wonderful performance.
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!
J'aime l'écouter. J'aime encore plus la voir jouer. L'une des meilleures pianistes au monde!
Sinon la meilleure ...
I am so thankful to the universe for making it possible for this interpretation to reach my ears!
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
I have never heard so much passion in this piece! I loved it!
I saw her perform Ravel in Singapore, and she was fantastic. I love her take on Beethoven, too.
Un pur moment de magie pour cette rencontre au sommet entre la belle Hélène et le grand Ludwig.
¡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
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.
Pour atteindre ce niveau de virtuosité; cela doit prendre des milliers d'heures de pratique. Respect!
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!
Un Beethoven oscuro, profundo, en una versión impecable
A very sad but stoic sonata by Beethoven. Helene is interpreting it trancendental especially in the third movement. We shall overcome!
Calidez y calidad interpretativa. Gracias H. Grimaud!!!!!!
don't know that i ever heard a beethoven piano sonata that was less than amazing.
This interpretation of the Tempest III Movement is the best I ever heard.
Artista EXCELENTE , BELLEZA unica !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stupenda esecuzione! Incomparabile Beethoven nella sonata per pianoforte.
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.
Her interpretation is very close to kempff.
я тоже влюбилась в талант этой щупленькой француженки .
Awesome performance, the best of this masterpiece indeed ! Thank you.
Hellen Grimaud hace soñar con sus ejecuciones hermosas
Браво Элен Гримо пиано соната 17 композитор Бетховен! Спасибо! Браво!
Браво пиано Элен Гримо! Волшебница! Вдохновляет волшебными звуками музыки! Спасибо! Браво!
Una interpretación casi sobrenatural, fascinante. Adoro a Hélène.
Love everything this excellent woman does and performs wow!!!
absolutely fantastic performance of this masterpiece
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.-
The more I listen to your beautiful music, the more I love you!!!
Not only powerful but also romantically beautiful, brava!!! Thanks for sharing!
Helen is very beautiful and talanted pianist!)
Gorgeous performance, gorgeous performer. Just a splendid combination.
Una composición magistral y una interprete fascinante
Maravillosamente espléndida en su técnica.
absolutely fantastic interpretation!
"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
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
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.
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 ?
w o w ! .... thought gilels channeled beethoven perfectly but this is tempestuous!
I agree with her interpretation more than any other I've heard so far.
Aaron Hall have you heard Maria João Pires' version?
A stunning performance!
The most interesting and nice interpretation! Excellent!
Subscriu!
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.
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.....
Elles sont comme ça les filles à Aix en Provence....
Ahahahah elle est géniale celle là
Magnifique! Absolument magnifique!
Браво , Элен ! Бетховен был бы доволен . ❤
Che brava, che bello. Grazie Helene ❤
Exceptionnel ! Quelle musicalité
Magnifique interpretation❤
Very thoughtful and creative playing. Such tiny details as the one at 11:12 show her originality of thought.
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.
H.G. ..sie ist immer super. Danke für diese Musik
best interpretation of the tempest sonata evA ♥️ just streaming perfection
Quel talent !
Amazing!
ピアノの演奏は今迄聴いた事のないぐらい新鮮だ！！
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤

Wunderschoene Interpretation!!! Herzlichen Dank, liebe Helene!!!
BRAVO HELENE!!! We Love You! Come soon to Guadalajara México!!!
Interpretación extraordinaria!!!
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".
Not since Jeno Jando. Beautiful.
Blue heart, from your blue eyes!!! Love them!
Hélène, Bravoooo!!!!
No words best in best literally 😍😍😍😍
Oh my god, so beatiful girl, so beatiful interpretation.
best version out there
21:08 clear and nice work
Toujours exceptionnelle...!
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.
she is so beautiful
Superb, lively, confident and insightful.
Nous revons avec votre music
Un régal ...
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.
...I seem to be late to the party. Incredible interpretation!
Bravo!
Masterpiece ✨✨😁😁
Great! I really enjoyed...

No tengo palabras !!!!
Meravigliosa, grazieeee
Third mov. is Allegretto not Allegro or Allegro con Brio, but even at that tempo she is great
Magnifica.
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!
BRAVO HELENE
