London Philharmonic Orchestra by Brahms, から (2023/2023), 導体 Edward Gardner, Alte Oper, Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Hélène Grimaud really needs no introduction. The pianist, who was born in France, has long been an international star – celebrated by the press and the public, awarded numerous prizes, artistically at home all over the world. What makes her so unique, in addition to her outstanding ability, is above all her highly emotional approach to music and her unconditional and uncompromising will to express herself. Hardly any artist succeeds like Hélène Grimaud in freeing well-known repertoire works from the patina of their performance history and making them sound as fresh, new and direct as when they were first performed. Together with the London Philharmonic Orchestra under its chief conductor Edward Gardner, she presents Johannes Brahms' first piano concerto in Frankfurt. (ProArte Frankfurt)
