Description
MDG is delighted to present Helene Grimaud’s early recordings for the DENON label from 1985 to 1992 in a double album including great romantic repertoire by Brahms and Schumann.
These recordings, again available after many years, reveal an artistic personality who achieved perfection at an early age
and for whom the label “child prodigy” very evidently would be an understatement.
Grimaud came to DENON after she had demonstratively turned her back on the Paris Conservatory. The recording of a Chopin piano concert organized privately in her native Aix-en-Provence found its way to Japan and immediately won over the label’s managers. During her seven years with DENON, she recorded five CDs, all of them with a most highly demanding repertoire.
