Hélène Grimaud returns again and again to Brahms' first piano concerto: the smoldering passion, the virtuosity and the emotional depth of the work inspire new explorations. At her side: the exquisitely performing Camerata Salzburg.

A beloved star of French piano, Hélène Grimaud also maintains a deep connection with the United States and American music, through emblematic works such as Gershwin's Concerto (1925), imbued with the spirit of jazz, of which she has delivered a fascinating recording. Also composed in the United States in 1943, Bartók's Concerto for Orchestra offers each family of instruments the opportunity to shine through solos of breathtaking virtuosity. A similar virtuosity is found in Salonen's Helix (2005), a study in acceleration where musical motifs unfold in spirals, like a helix.
