Description:

A World of Forests, Water, and Music Depicted by Grimaud, a Music and Nature LoverHélène Grimaud is a French pianist with an original and profound musicality. Active in the conservation of wild wolves, "music" and "nature" are the driving force behind Grimaud's passion. This video is from a concert titled "Woodland and Beyond" at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg in 2017. The program consists of the same compositions as the album released around the same time. Works on the theme of "water" by Berio, Takemitsu, Fauré, Ravel, Albéniz, Liszt, Janacek, and Debussy, with a new work, "Transition," written by British composer Nitin Sawhney, connecting them. And the "forest" projected on the big screen as a backdrop to the performance is the very life of Grimaud. The photos of the forest are the work of German photographer Matt Hennek, who is also Grimaud's partner. The presence of "water" nurtures the richness of the forest. Grimaud's music flows out like clear water and forms a forest rich in nature, creating a unique world that is uniquely Grimaudian. King International
