Hélène Grimaud & Camerata Salzburg – The Messenger

Hélène Grimaud & Camerata Salzburg – The Messenger Listen to “The Messenger“ here: For her latest album “The Messenger“, Hélène Grimaud has created a pianistic dialogue between Mozart and the Ukrainian-born contemporary composer Valentin Silvestrov. The recording sessions took place at the start of 2020 at a historic Mozart site in Salzburg, the Great Hall of the University, where Grimaud was joined by the Camerata Salzburg. The album includes three works by Mozart: the unfinished Fantasia in D minor K397, the famous Piano Concerto in D minor K466 and the Fantasia in C minor K475. Valentin Silvestrov’s “The Messenger –1996“ offers both a response to and an echo of Mozart’s music – this idea of acknowledging and paying tribute to what has gone before is central to his art as a composer. ___ Follow Hélène Grimaud Online: Website: Facebook: Instagram: ht
