Extractions: If you're interested in hearing more of Grimaud's playing then buy this CD. However, her performances of the Gershwin and Ravel concerti aren't definitive. Indeed, her playing of Gershwin seems tentative, as though she admits her lack of comfort with playing jazz music or her unfamiliarity with Gershwin's music. She is almost immediately overshadowed by Zinman's energetic conducting and the vibrant performance he yields from the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Much more successful is her fine performance of Ravel's Piano Concerto, which is as good as her earlier Denon recording with Lopez-Cobos conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. If you're interested in hearing her splendid playing of Ravel's music, along with Rachmaninov's, then you might be better off buying her earlier CD instead. Review Summary: Quite good but not the absolute best - Rating: Well... this isn't likely to be a 'popular' review, but it will be honest. First let me say that Helene Grimaud is simply the best pianist I've ever heard recorded. I have her Brahms recordings and find her sense of expression, control of dynamics, and most importantly, warmth, unmatched by any other at the instrument. (The only way to get warmer would be to play the Intermezzi, for example, on a Boesendorfer Imperial...but that's another issue.)

In 1985 she was awarded first prize in Jaques Rouvier's class and was invited to participate in master classes by Gyorgy Sander, Leon Fleischer and Jorge Bolet, who said of her, "It has been a long time, a very long time, since I have met a natural talent of such quality and musical sensibility." contact mailing list site map

Extractions: In the Symphonies Nos. 29 and 38 (the "Prague"), the playing moved along, but inconsistently. Balances were not maintainedthis was one night in which the treble dominated and the bass often faded out; the Bowl's amplification system proved unreliable much of the time. Oundjian, who used to be an admired chamber musician, is still finding his way as a conductor.

Hailed by the critics for her fire-breathing manner, enormous down-to-the-bottom-of-the-keys sound, and her superbly athletic, exhilarating performances, she opened the 2001 Festival with the passion and romance of the famous Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2.

Extractions: Speaking of Masur and the New York Philharmonic, they are fine, unassuming accompanists. Their performance has to rank as one of the best they've given on behalf of an accomplished soloist like Ms. Grimaud (Only their collaboration with violinist Maxim Vengerov on Teldec's recently released recording of Dvorak's Violin Concerto might be better.). Once more, this has to rank as among the highlights of Masur's tenure as music director of The New York Philharmonic. Within the liner notes are a notes describing Ms. Grimaud's devotion towards wolves. Animal lovers of all kinds will be delighted. I commend her keen understanding of the wolf's importance as a key player in forest ecosystems around the globe, especially here in North America. Regarding her devotion towards music and wolves, I can only say je vous aime! Review Summary: Didn't do it for me.

But for Ms. Grimaud, 28, her educational work with wolves and her work with Brahms and Beethoven give her the best of two worlds. IF YOU GO

Extractions: Kathmandu, Wednesday, 10 January 2001 INTERNATIONAL Berlin: Regional selfishness blocking economic upturn -Heinz Boschek, IN-Press, Germany This thinking also formed part of the decision taken this (read last year’s) spring by the aero-engine manufacturer BMW Rolls Royce-BRR- to expand its capacities in Dahlewitz, Brandenburg, and to fully relocate its management from Oberyrsel near Frankfurt/Main to the neighboring part of Berlin at the end of 1998. BRR director Klaus Nittinger had this to say: "here we have room for our expansion plans and, as Berlin develops in to an airport hub, we have an important market on our doorstep. Berlin and Brandenberg are basically condemned by nature to have synergies". Jurgen Linde, the minister in Potsdam, regrets that the Grand Coalition of CDU and SPD which is governing Berlin is n able to contribute to a responsible policy for the region as a whole e.g. for an integrated public transport system for Berlin and Brandenberg. A survey by the DIW shows clearly that, for example, that there is a high degree of integration between manufacturing companies based around Berlin and nearby suppliers. No matter what the public administrations of Berlin and Brandenberg are doing to harm each other, every second company in the area surrounding Berlin prefers to purchase upstream goods from other firms in the area or directly from Berlin. The unity of the economic area has become a reality and is far ahead of the political situation. So the pressure is growing. It looks like that there will indeed be a second attempt to merge the two states in 2004.

Fratres (in a first performance here) and Brahms' Piano Quartet in G Minor , orchestrated by Schoenberg. The French pianist Helene Grimaud was soloist in Schumann's Piano Concerto in A Minor The 1,835-seat Hilbert Circle Theatre is a beautifully restored movie palace from 1916. The acoustics were warm, clear and particularly favorable to the strings. Fratres (Brothers), which he led without a baton. Inspired by medieval and Renaissance music, it was mystical and sustained, colored by drum taps and a low bass drone. Mr. Jarvi created a hushed, sonorous canvas, and the strings played with wonderful homogeneity. The Indianapolis Symphony has not played the Brahms/Schoenberg Piano Quartet in G Minor in 25 years, which explains why a first reading I heard on Wednesday was a bit ragged. Saturday's performance, though, told a much different story: the orchestra rose to the occasion with moments of truly brilliant playing.
