Hlne Grimaud & Camerata Salzburg Silvestrov: Two Dialogues with Postscript: I. Wedding Waltz

Since 2010 Hélène Grimaud has refrained from recording Mozart. One might almost think there simply hasn’t been room for his music in her multifaceted repertoire, and the pianist does confess that her younger self found the “lightness of being” she associated with his piano works unfulfilling. Now, however, for her latest concept album The Messenger, she has created a pianistic dialogue between Mozart and the Ukrainian-born contemporary composer Valentin Silvestrov. Hélène Grimaud performs together with the Camerata Salzburg Silvestrov's 'Two Dialogues with Postscript, I. Wedding Waltz'. “I was always interested in couplings that were not predictable, in unusual combinations, because I feel as if certain pieces – even sometimes pieces by different composers – can shed a special light on to one another.” - Hélène Grimaud Hélène Grimaud & Camerata Salzburg – Silvestrov: Two Dialogues with Postscript: I.
