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.

I often return to this piece as comfort food. Just perfect on every level.

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 totally ❤ Hélène Grimaud’s masterful performances!

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!

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 saw her perform Ravel in Singapore, and she was fantastic. I love her take on Beethoven, too.

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.

Pour atteindre ce niveau de virtuosité; cela doit prendre des milliers d'heures de pratique. Respect!

Un pur moment de magie pour cette rencontre au sommet entre la belle Hélène et le grand Ludwig.

Wonderful performance by Helene Grimaud. Thank you! I just wish we could see her hands to make it even more perfect.

A very sad but stoic sonata by Beethoven. Helene is interpreting it trancendental especially in the third movement. We shall overcome!
