Seit ich mich vor mehr als 50 Jahren zum ersten Mal mit Beethovens Klavierkonzerten befasste, ist dieses 4. Konzert mein Lieblingsstück. Es geht sofort unter die Haut und direkt in meine Seele. Ich habe dieses Stück in all den Jahren von vielen wunderbaren und ganz unterschiedlichen Künstlern gehört. Hélène Grimaud ist in ihrer Einzigartigkeit mit nichts zu vergleichen, und ich fiebere dem 13.06.2024 entgegen. Dann nämlich kommt sie in meine Stadt, die man auch „Klavierstadt Hannover“ nennt, und wird das Publikum mit diesem Meisterwerk Beethovens und ihrem engelsgleichen Spiel verzaubern.

Heaven! Beethoven would've been immensely proud to hear how much intelligence and feeling Grimaud puts into this. Just feel like she's talking to Beethoven directly as she plays this -- with a very modern sensibility, which he would've certainly shared. Excellent partnership with Eschenbach - he conducted this perfectly to showcase her and maximize the relationship between piano and orchestra

The world of Beethoven is stunning enough......but this ladiy's piano playing is out of this world. !

There is so much in the world today that makes me angry, sad or unhappy. This is the antidote.

If there was a ranking for youtube presentations of classical music, this is a candidate for number one. Hélène Grimaud is a Greek goddess that plays piano. Beethoven's concerto no. 4 is one of the best ever. The best performance because Hélène is much more than a virtuoso. She is one with music and totally dedicated to what she plays. Finally, the best filming with superposition of plans of executant, orchestra and audience which is difficult but results marvelously.

I got out of wrist surgery Friday, 2 days ago, where they re-broke & re-set my radial bones & put in a plate, screws. When the nerve block wore off I was in FREAKING AGONY for a day or 2; up all hours dragging myself slowly from room to room, moans involuntarily leaking from me the whole night long; I had no idea what I was doing as I staggered slowly from room to room (THANK GOD I live alone... I would've been embarrassed to have anyone there to witness me in this pit of my life). Anyway I must've played Helene's Beethoven Piano Concerto #4 here a good 50 times (at least) all through the night & following day; how very comforting it was, spirited, lifting me up, a joy; she saw me through the worst (so far) of my weekend travails; may GOD bless her... what a brilliant cutie-pie; watching closely how this beautiful piece so transported her, & in turn me, for I felt a tiny part of that passion, which eased my mind through the worst of my pain. THANK YOU HELENE; THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSPIRATION, for allowing it to be a beacon to me and all the world lucky enough to witness this performance!! It was fresh to me every time; I'll always be grateful for being able to watch and hear your glorious music this weekend when I so needed it... -L.

HG Is a Great pianista, no questioni but the greatest Is really too much

The more I listen to this, the deeper is my awe.

Helene Grimaud is so brilliant in Beethoven's piano Concerto no.4. It is so enchanting, so divine, so beautiful. The Paris Orchestra conducted by Christoph Eschenback is so exceptional. It is so marvelous, so romantic, so beautiful. Helene is an extraordinary pianist who is so fit to work with her sublime fingers with Beethoven's revolutionary music. Indeed, Beethoven is the master of all masters. I listen to his music with deep emotions and with immense interest. He will continue to have profound impact on the succeeding generations. And Helene is so talented an artist. Beethoven would have been pleased with her performance.

Very strongly into the spirit and ethos of Beethoven throughout. Thank you Ms Grimaud and all concerned with putting this together and for the download.

Beethoven: peerless. Period. Helene Grimaud: perfect.

Après les bombes et les fous c’est une réconciliation avec la beauté du monde. Merci musique.

My goodness, the look on her face! She is totally invested in this performance. It's incredible to witness such artistry, and commitment to excellence. She's absolutely magnificent..best I've heard since Argerich.

Für mich ist der schönste Moment, wie Helen Grimaud am Ende der Kadenz des 1. Satzes (bei 19:20) aus ihrer Versunkenheit in die Musik wieder in die Realität auftaucht, zunächst hat sie, als sie die Augen wieder aufschlägt, noch ein bisschen Mühe, wieder in die Realität zurückzukehren, aber beim zweiten Mal öffnet ihre beglückten Augen, sucht den Kontakt zum Dirigenten und wartet offenbar trillernd auf seinen Einsatz, der dann synchron zum Öffnen ihres Mundes erfolgt - eine stillschweigende Einigkeit.

When I was an undergraduate student at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, I would go to concerts every week given by the College of Music.

Here one can concentrate on the Beauty and power of Beethoven's ideas and imagination reflected in her rendering of this masterpiece for its own sake (not seeking the titilation of mere lasivious audiences). Thank you Ms. Grimaud for your integrity to your Art. You have made Herr Beethoven very happy, I am sure.

Vorrei sottolineare l'esecuzione magistrale di Hélène Grimaud che per tecnica, sensibilità, capacità interpretativa , consonanza con l'orchestra, magistralmente diretta da Chritoph Eschenbach , rende questo capolavoro eccelso per levità delle dita, capacità di toccare la tastiera e scoprire tutte le "nuances" del grande Maestro". Grazie per il bellissimo concerto , veramente di alto livello.

Davies Hall to see her perform, as I like to sit right behind the orchestra. Once, after she had concluded, the guy next to me showed me a copy of her book "Wild Melodies", about her work with wolves. They say "music hath charms to calm the wild beast" and in her case, it actually is true. Some great camera mixes and ECUs here (Extreme Close Ups) which also adds to the heft of this video. Bravo and Bravaa to all involved !

Ce concert, qui a d'abord failli être annulé puis a finalement été maintenu, a été donné le soir du 11 septembre 2001 au Royal Albert Hall à Londres, quelques heures à peine après que les deux tours du World Trade Center se soient effondrées. On dira ce qu'on voudra, mais il a du être beaucoup plus difficile pour tous ces musiciens de monter sur scène que de manger le piment le plus fort du monde. Malgré la peine immense qui ravageait le cœur des êtres humains partout sur la planète ce soir-là, le Royal Albert Hall affichait complet. Quel époustouflant retour de bâton dans la face de l'horreur, un magistral coup de pied au cul de la fatalité, un claque monumentale à la terreur, à l'instar de cette fantastique réponse que Martin Luther King donna avec un sourire bienveillant quelques semaines avant de mourir à un tout jeune journaliste qui lui posait une question désespérée sur le sort des noirs américains : "N'ayez pas peur mon petit.

As I said before, of all Beethoven's works, this is in my opinion his best. I just love it. And this performance is the best I have ever heard,

Finest and beautiful Beethoven where it should be. The strongest also where it should be. Love her playing. Magical, technically perfect and energetic. Just THE interpretation of this piece.

Grimaud doesn't get as much ink as some of her other contemporaries for their on-stage antics, but she is in my opinion 'la meilleure' female pianist of our times. She is like the undertow which doesn't announce itself but can sweep you off your feet with its shear forces.

Absolutely. She has a seriousness about herself that others lack. No wonder she got along so well with Kurt Sanderling, who has recorded with no less than Sviatoslav Richter.

I would say that Grimaud projects feminity , or basic femaleness , in a way different to other lady pianists. Both can be enjoyed IMO and watching them gives me anyway much pleasure.

@@divvy1400yam600 I was trying to say that she is the best female pianist of our times based on her expressive play, repertoire, technique and her interpretations, and it helps that she is not trying to call attention to herself in an overly maudlin way in her pursuit of excellence: its all about the music and its essence.
