Hélène Grimaud

Highlights from Helene Grimaud's career are brought together in one collection. Disc one features solo pieces, like Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. Disc two features concerto movements from composers ranging from Gluck to Bartok.

Tells the story of French pianist Hélène Grimaud, from early musical promise to a Paris Conservatory education and star career, through the point where her enduring love of the wild, particularly wolves, caused her to break with the convention of that life. She is seen at her home in upstate New York, where she founded the Wolf Conservation Center. Includes excerpts from a performance of Rachmaninov's Second piano concerto.
