Hélène Grimaud | The Messenger 1CD

“I was always interested in couplings that were not predictable, in unusual combinations, because I feel as if certain pieces – even sometimes pieces by different composers – can shed a special light on one another,” says pianist Hélène Grimaud about her new album, on which she combines works by Mozart and the Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov.
