Hélène Grimaud is a singular pianist, an interpreter known for her fierce intelligence and sincere freedom of expression. In this characteristically thoughtful program, she performs choice selections by Chopin, Debussy, and Satie; R. Schumann’s Kreisleriana; and exquisite short pieces by Valentin Silvestrov—and she approaches each of them with deep respect as well as individual artistry.
