Hélène Grimaud: Schumann - Piano Quintet, Op. 44 (with soloists from the Orchestre de Paris)

[@strukhoff]

Hélène never makes it look effortless, and this is meant as a high compliment. Her focus and intensity are scary, as her playing reflects the years of disciplined practice and thought she's put in to create her playing. She gets every technical and dynamic nuance in this piece, as she always does, while giving it her all. There is nothing left in reserve when she is finished. She's just as focused and charming in interviews, whether in English or French. And of course, she also puts tremendous efforts into her wolf conservation center. What a marvelous player and person. I already have my tickets to see her in Chicago when she comes around next year.

[@simony0705]

Okay

[@staffanolofsson8201]

The more I listen to this uptaking, the more I love it. It is not only Hélène, it is also Roland, Nathalie, Jean and Emmanuel. Chamber music has that privilege that it is always togetherness, not one and the rest. And this togetherness creates sometimes wonders, like here.

[@cedericocosantorini8013]

Well put.

Para disfrutar desde la 1ra a la última nota. Schumann hace gala de una creatividad inmensa. Esta grabación es de antología. BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO

[@empireentertainmentevents1353]

Wow...what a Masterpiece composed by the great Schumann!

[@sole26881]

Allen Musikern ein grosses Lob. Ein schönes Schumannstück und Pianoquintett. Danke💐

[@tomboyer5608]

This is one of the most demanding piano parts in chamber music. It's a part that was written for Clara Schumann, one of the great pianists of the 19th century, and the intensity just never lets up -- it's a test of stamina. Anyway it's great fun to watch Grimaud just nail every bit of it. The tempos are brisk (esp. the scherzo) but I love it -- so much energy, and at the same time such elegance. It's a wonderful performance.

[@northside7772]

This is likely the most perfect performance of this wonderful piece I've ever heard. Surely the most exquisite, insightful and lyrical piano playing.

[@logaemsythgim1818]

Hmm glad you placed it as most likely, try some pre 1950 recordings and find out the real charm in this amazing composition. This rendition is grostesk, Wagner like where there is no charm left as well phrasing is musically rather infantile ;)

[@northside7772]

Yes I have heard excellent, outstanding older performances. This is my favorite. Have a nice day.

[@robertovecchiolkn8030]

Vraiment magnifique,interprétation exquise….

[@knd1940]

Everyone here is superb, beginning with Helene Grimaud's impassioned playing, but I'd like to give a shout out to the camera crew which is always in the right place at the right time. That takes a lot of preparation. And, as an amateur violist, also to the beautiful warm tone of Jean Dupouy's viola.

What a beautiful piece and lovely eye contact between Helene and the cellist: 12.28

[@staffanolofsson8201]

12:28 ? No eye contact at that moment. But I agree with you about the contact among all musicians, and that this is a beautiful piece of music.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

So beautiful, this Schumann Piano Quintet op 44. This uptaking from 2001 has at last found its audience on KZbin 2021. It is never too late. And I get almost tears in my eyes listening to this. Here we can hear Hélène Grimaud in a slightly different position, compared to her piano concertos. And as I can understand, she is quite content with this, together with these wonderful musicians.

The Schumann quintet is such an interesting soothing masterpiece. I remember it, especially, because I would play it on the cassette player on that little rickety shuttle bus for MTA in Baltimore. My passengers appreciated the swift musical dimension on their short trip through the Hampden community. And it made for an exceptionally pleasant workday. “Music expresses wordless odysseys.” PWG

[@Gurci28]

'The Romantic Era boasts a legion of luminary composers, from Brahms and Tchaikovsky to Mendelssohn and Berlioz-but Schumann is often deemed the “quintessential Romantic,” his ardent passions, poetic feeling, and heart-on-sleeve style perfectly embodying the ideals of the age.'

[@douglaslarson7081]

Bravo !! A truly inspiring performance on par with what I consider to be the gold standard for this quintet that was recorded by the Beaux Arts Trio (plus two more players) many decades ago.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Can we hear your favourite, please? The one with the Beaux Arts Trio plus two? No, perhaps not, many decades ago. We have to believe you. And I do. When you say this is on par, I believe you. And I continue listening. Best wishes!

[@douglaslarson7081]

@@staffanolofsson8201 The Beaux Arts Trio's debut was in 1955 and they retired in 2008. They had several player changes in their 50+ years together. I don't remember when they recorded this Schumann Quintet but I think it was in the 1980's. I think I still have that recording on cassette tape but I have no idea where it is. You might be able to find it somewhere. Older recordings are often reissued as CDs and that recording might be one of them. You would have to hunt for it. I suggest looking for "Schumann op 44" + "Beaux Arts Trio". Of course it would be much easier to simply listen to this recording by Hélène Grimaud, Roland Daugarel, Nathalie Lamoureux, Jean Dupouy and Emmanuel Gaugué. This recording really is just as good as that of the Beaux Arts Trio (+2) that I mentioned. Perhaps slightly better.

[@douglaslarson7081]

I am really impressed with Hélène Grimaud. I discovered her about 6 or 7 years ago. I have worked on the piano part of this Schumann Quintet and it is NOT easy. Quite difficult for much of it. But hearing Hélène Grimaud play it here with no stumbles that I could detect, was impressive. I love this entire Quintet but especially the slow movement and the last page of the final movement is truly grand.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

@@douglaslarson7081 Thank you Douglas for your answer. As I am a lazy person I will probably be content with this new/20 year old video. But I thank you for your reseach of the origins of recording this wonderful music. I am sure The Beaux Arts made a very fine recording of this, and that your memories of that recording are the best.

[@reinhardtristaneugen9113]

As there is pouring down on me what can not be but is and won't be there for much longer, I told ya for sure,... ...I'm on to reach for the media of the Netherlands in the moment... To the music: It is a piece of the beauty of heaven where everything is calm and fine... ...I like how Schumann frames the first movement with two themes but not that tight interrelated as the form of the Kopfsatz from the 18. century would demand for... the part at around 6:00 imitates probably that what would be the cadenza in a piano concert... ...the second movement reminds me at the beginning at the one of Schuberts death and the maiden ( also the second movement... ) but as I said my pitch is all but perfect, is there a < g > in both beginnings without a f-sharp in Schumanns? Anyway also the second movement as Schuberts death and the maiden is of tremendous and redundant beauty as is the whole quintet. I would like to jump into the music and stay there for the rest of my life, and in case anybody be out there, that feels the inclination to get me out of this music, I would want to call in every single A10 ( Warthogs... ) at my command to throw at them and they would need to run, you bet...
