I can't understand why audience members are not standing on their chairs and wildly applauding this incredible performance! Thank you so much for posting such an outstanding recording.

When she plays, she lives the moment to its fullest. Pure bliss to hear her play.

You can see from her face the bliss she experiences when she is playing the Adagio.

The adagio is one of the most gorgeous pieces in all piano literature... and Hélène's demeanor really helps sell it.

A perfect pairing of orchestra, conductor and performer for this exquisite composition. Ravel's adagio assai...transporting...

Difficult not to be distracted by this superb pianist's beauty.

@@sgchastain You’re absolutely right. Helene does look luminous performing here.

This is such a gorgeous performance. The second movement especially really comes from deep down

Yearning for an unreachable past, countryside in childhood, memorable things that were gone so fast like dreams but even brighter and clearer though sandwiched by the hustling daily jazz-like rhythm of reality.

Like all of Ravel's music this wandered along many roads and avenues giving us little glances at the scenery along the way. Intriguingly performed here, but so very beautiful THANK YOU ALL.

This is the best performance of this piece I've heard.

Danke, Helene, einfach nur phantastisch - genial gekonnt !!

wow..such beauty of sound.. the whole orchestra was moved by her playing every time she starts to sing with her hands..

🥲Adagio......tears!!! Thank you Maurice Thank you Helène

Absolutely wonderful, Helene!! And you looked so happy as you played all three movements. Thank you for the gift of yourself that you share so magnanimously!

Harp section is my favorite in the first movement. Like a magic! ✨

beyond outstanding performance of this beautiful piece by Hélène!

Ravel was a singular composer, without peer. He is truly modern and his influences carry over to many film composers through the millenium. No one else could exact the color and surprise from an orchestra as he was able. Gershwin came France to seek him out as his compositions reflect. Helene Grimaud understands his music like few other pianists. She makes it live and breathe as if it had new life. This performance is perfection.

You are absolutely right, bill ding. Few, if any, can give this piece the subtlety, touch and fire that Helene does. Can it be because both Helene and Ravel are French? Perhaps.

Очень понравилось исполнение концерта органичностью и проникновенностью в характер исполняемого, прекрасным ансамблем с оркестром и целостностью исполнения!

I'm not so fun of modern concertos, but this one is exceptional, I have to listen to its entirety. Grimaud and Hengelbrock did a very good job.

Stravinsky called Ravel "a Swiss watchmaker." I'm not sure what he meant by that but I always liked the appellation. Any time I hear Helene Grimaud play anything, Beethoven, Ravel, Brahms, it doesn't matter. Her playing makes me fall in love again.

On ne lasse pas de cet adagio , un miracle à chaque écoute...

En philosophie, quand on parle d'art, on distingue l'humain du divin pour parler de la source de créativité. Pour moi, le divin dans l'art est cette source d'inspiration inexplicable qui fait dire à certains artistes que leurs productions ne leur appartiennent pas. C'est une parfaite collaboration entre l'humain et ce divin, c'est-à-dire une collaboration équilibrée où chacun est à sa juste place.

Magical

Outstanding contribution to music and remarkable wit. Merci Hélène

Bravo !! J'ai beaucoup aimé.... Surtout le 2ème mvt..comme vous avez conduit la fin avec beaucoup de finesse.

I read that after the premiere of Debussy's L'apres-midi d'une Faune, Ravel said, "If there is music in heaven, this is it." One could say the same here.

Yes, he did an eighth note instead of a quarter note on the A# apex, thus ruining the entire moment. The beat was also off all along.

ich mag ja den Interlog zwischen den Hölzern sehr bei 13:00 und circa 17:45... ...dann mag ich auf meiner Pizza am liebsten nicht normale Zwiebeln, die aber auch gehen, sondern Frühlingszwiebeln... ...und wen ich gerne mal treffen mag, ist bestimmt auch schon bekannt, ich verzichte aber nicht darauf, das regelmäßig zu wiederholen, um genug Expressivität und Emphase hinter diesen Wunsch zu setzen... ...also wenn ich mir das aussuchen kann, welchen Promi ich treffen darf, dann ist das ganz sicher 😇❤Hélène❤😇... le p'tit Daniel

She just feels the 2nd movement differently...I heard like 30 great pianists playing this and she owns it, like Martha owns Prokoviev piano concertos

WIF791, I agree completely. I just finished listening to Martha Argerich’s rendition of this piece. I found her 1st and 3rd movements played just a bit too fast for my liking. For me, her second movement lacked any personal feeling. Helene, on the other hand, played this 2nd movement with her heart and soul. And her 1st and 3rd are perfect in pace and feeling, and are played with the heart as well. Just look at her luminous face throughout the whole. She seems transpired by the music. Last comment…..way down the line of importance. Helene Grimaud is a beautiful woman and very easy to “look” at. Much better to listen to, though.
