Good lord everyone is having a GREAT night here… Grimaud, Jarvi, the FSO, the audience, Beethoven, even the concert hall. Everything has become more than the sum of its parts. What a joy.
This woman is one of the greatest living pianists.
... playing the best piano concerto ever.
@@konradklein5530 for sure!
Simply, the greatest
@@netmendo , Hear. Hear !!! Agree 100%.
For me, TOO🌷🌹
Absolutely dazzling. I must have heard/seen this concerto well over 200 times over the last 55 years of my life but this is probably the greatest I've ever heard. Here the piano and orchestra are not two separate entities but Grimaud is part of the orchestra, and 'comes in and out of it' like magic. Everything is clear as a bell; nothing is fudged; any 'ornamental' phrases are all brought out clearly as part of the whole. She shines particularly in the last movement with extraordinary power, momentum and clarity. And, in the quieter passages, withering beauty. 11/10.
Helene Grimaud was in The semi-final in Tchaikovsky piano competition in 1986! Helene Grimaud not The greatest Best Ever Beethoven piano concerto no 5 Ever! THE GREATEST BEST BEETHOVEN 5th Are really= 1: Vladimir Ashkenazy ( The most colorful volcanic piano sound Ever) 2: Wilhelm Kempff ( The most beautiful piano sound Ever) 3: Grigory Sokolov ( The Titan The Giant of The piano Grigory Sokolov ( Sokolov The most vital rhythmic Beat! Unbeatable vitalness) 4:Van Cliburn! Why Van Cliburn because Van Cliburn better than The stiff Claudio Arrau and The Mechanical Boring dull stiff machine player Ever Krystian Zimerman!) 5: Mikhail Pletnev ( The most Powerful Ever! Pletnev=The most Crystal Bright sharp clear perfect beautiful Beethoven piano concerto no 5!) 6: Maurizio Pollini ( The Genius no 2! Alexei Lubimov number one Genius playing Mozart piano concerto no 27!) 7: Solomon Cutner ( The most perfect structure of music! Solomon Cutner The highest IQ points Ever)
Yes, Helene Grimaud is a princess of the piano. Intellect and emotion.
The orchestra is part of Helene Grimaud :) Listen & look closely, she has the direction of it all. Not by force, sheer by art. The musicians & conductor follow her vibe.
Остановись мгновенье, ты
Прекрасно!!!
@@RaineriHakkarainen Vladimir Ashkenazy though an excellent musician didn't convince me totally. I heard him in Luzern, Switzerland years ago. This heavenly concerto had for me a name Wilhelm Kempff until I listened to Hélène Grimaud's interpretation, different but as sublime.
Absolutely close to perfection if not perfection!! Beethoven has to be proud❤. What a beautiful performance!!!
Helene Grimaud, Thank you for this beautiful and outstanding performance.
When I hear Helene play Beethoven I imagine him giving her his smile of approval
You should watch her play Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No 2 !! ... Second to only Richter's 1959 recording.
@@allengrant Hélène est à nul autre second
Beethoven would have fallen in love with her.
Smile may be a little OTT…friendly glare perhaps 🤔
Every time I see Hélène with her wolves at her New York wolf sanctuary, I can't help thinking her career could be over if one of them ever bit her. This is mutual trust to the ultimate. Beethoven's 5th is my favourite piano concerto and she is my favourite pianist.
Mine too!!
This was a heart-warming performance! I felt that here comes the Spring, here comes the Sun, after a long winter (I am writing it on February 28, 2023). Thank you Helene Grimaud, thank you Paavo Jarvi and orchestra!
Simply, she is the greatest pianist alive as she combines virtuosity and emotion as no other.
I listen to piano concertos a lot. This concerto by beethoven is an incredible piece of work... perhaps the only piece I've listened to over and over again... and Helena Grimaud is chatting with Beethoven with her magnificent playing... it is as if she has lifted him up... Wonderful...
Beautiful description. ❤
it was an excellent performance of Beethoven's piano concerto played with excellent technic and nuance. Thanks for uploading.
Helene Grimaud is DIVINE! Awesome performance of this glorious Beethoven concerto!
Seit 66 Jahren habe ich in diesem Konzert zig-mal immer wieder neue Überraschungen entdeckt, so auch heute von dieser großartigen Helene Grimaud.
My favourite piano piece and my favourite rendition. Hèlène pours her soul into this and there's a lovely connection between her and Paavo. I've listened many times and it always moves my heart.
Le talent, la grâce, l'intelligence, la beauté, elle a tout.
This is such a great performance! You gotta love the holding-back and full-steam-ahead moments, sheer beauties. Helene Grimaud always brings it. Bravo!
How we are blessed with such gifted people. Apart from the wonderful portrayal of this great concerto she does so without a piece music in front of her and knows exactly when she must play.
This is a wonderful work by a master of his craft at the peak of his powers. Helene Grimaud does it complete justice.
Truly amazing.
Schönheit in Ausdruck und Anschlag- wunderbar- wundervoll- eben Helene Grimaud
If I've heard this concerto once, I've heard it 100 times. Helene Grimaud has given me new ears for this incredible concerto. Sometimes you get used to how extraordinary Beethoven's works are. Thank you, Ms. Grimaud, for making it new again!
Кто способен увидеть в прошлом новое, сможет учить. - ( Предки древние)
Una de las mejores,sinó la mejor interpretación que he visto. Y tengo oyendo este concierto desde que tenía 12 años y tengo 85. Era el tema de un programa que se llamaba " Fantasías Dominicales."
I adore this pianist.
I do also!!
A absolutely grand preformance.
Quelle Merveille. Superbe méditation grâce à vous, Hélène Grimaud. Vous êtes MAGIQUE. Merci, Merci, Merci
Wonderful performance Hélène. your beaming self confidence, and your joy of playing always shine through. Thank You!
I came here after hearing two other Helene Grimaud performances on UA-cam: the outstanding Rachmaninoff 2nd concerto with Lucerne orchestra under the baton of Maestro Abbado, and an incredible Brahms 1st concerto with South German radio orchestra in 2005. This is also superb. The Beethoven 5th concerto is played so often and known so well that it can sometimes sound a bit jaded, but she seems to bring new life and joy to it. I am so impressed with her playing. Long may it continue. Thanks for posting this here for us all to enjoy.
You’re welcome
Autumn Leaves, yes, Helene continued to grow as a pianist and today, early 2023, she is now considered one of the world’s best pianists. She is constantly expanding her repertoire and pushing the boundaries of pieces that she has played for years, giving them a freshness they hadn’t had before, and also taking on new pieces to give them her singular interpretation.
@@GreatPerformers1Is there a better video of this performance? The resolution is so bad!
All the comments here have already said what I would have to say about the playing in this recording. I would add that in no other recording of this concerto is there such an ideal balance of sound between the soloist and the orchestra. This recording sounds so present and real in space, as if (and this sounds paradoxical) I hear all the music as close as only in my head and yet as spatial as in a forest of beech and oak trees.
She plays the second movement so delicate och romantic. She really gets it.
I enjoy watching her play as much as I the sound of her playing with the orchestra. She adds beauty to everything she touches.
Bravo! She'e always brilliant. Thanks for sharing this concert. We're having difficult times these days, but no one can take this pleasure away from us. Let's enjoy in peace!
Amen
I celebrate her entire catalog. Seriously, I have all her CDs and they have priority over all others in my collection. And the recording of this is one of my most favorite CDs ever. Looking forward to Silent Songs.
Passion and talent makes quallity !! By Helene it seems to come by nature ! Wonderful
Just wonderful. Extraordinary performance of all artists.
Fabulous performance of a supreme masterpiece.
amazing Lady. love her playing
Meravigliosa pianista! Beethoven sarà felice di ascoltarla e noi con lui. Alda
Cette merveilleuse femme est une constellation dans de ciel de la musique.
Helene Grimaud is easy to sum up.WONDERFUL.
Helene Grimaud is my favorite pianist.
Luis Anibarro, mine too!!
Chère Madame Griaud j'ai grandi depuis mon plus jeune age avec le concerto 5 de Beethoven, grace à Elly Ney et Karl Bohm, que j'ai toujours considéré comme les plus grands interprètes. Mon estime pour vous est à la hauteur que celle que j'éprouve pour ces deux artistes. Et puis,quelle merveilleuse façon de dèmontrer que Beethoven est le plus grand auteur Je vous souhaite très longue vie! Merçi mille fois.
magnifique talent exceptionnel. qu elle simplicité
The SUBLIME BEAUTY of this magisterial work is expressed with an exquisitely refined interpretation by pianist H. Grimaud. Conductor Paavo Järvi demonstrates insightful feelings and empathic control with the orchestra and pianist. What a beauty, oh boy...
I am so grateful to be able to hear and see this beautiful interpretation,it is truly magnificent!
Extraordinaria intérprete. Sus conciertos de Raschmaninov, Brahms, Mozart y Beethoven han sido ¡magistrales!
Cuando escucho tu quinto consierto.todas las pasiones en mi se desbordan .termino llorando.merci beaucoup.
Quelle virtuose ! Une merveille... j'adore
Merci Hélène. Je suis aux anges.
Impériale interprétation de ce concerto ! tout y est excellent, l'orchestre, le chef,
et que dire de plus de cette magistrale belle Hélène ! Beethoven a été servi de mains de Maître
For me, there has always been and ALWAYS will be in the first place the most wonderful performance of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli with the Viennese Orchestra conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini.
This one: ua-cam.com/video/s9rlEypHBns/v-deo.html ?
Very beautifully played. This pianist is extremely talented. It is a shame she is not better known.
Helene Grimaud is very well known. She is one of the well known musical talents of the west.
Grimaud just goes from strength to strength as her career continues. I've had the good fortune to see her live a few times, and "exhilarating" is THE word.
NancyinNYC, and now, at 53, Helene just continues to get better. She brings a depth and new interpretation to each piece she plays. And she continues to push the boundaries of what “should be” to what “can be”. Long May she grace us with her extraordinary talent!!
Just to listen to her and this orchestra cause tears to flow and then I’m in awe of beauty
Wow! Just an absolutely beautiful concert! Excellent performance! 👏👏😊❤️
Hätte nie gedacht, dass eine Frau Beethovens konzerte sooo fabelhaft spielen mag. Héléne Grimaud brach alle Zweifel. Famous!
MAGIC ART. MAGIC SOULS GREAT
Maravilloso concierto, y maravillosa Hélène Grimaud.
Brings to mind how back in the day I listened to this piece while on the stationary bike. Inspirational riding and gliding. You know? PWG
Magnifique! Merci mille fois!
What a wonderful performance - It's a joy to listen too...
En este quinto consierto ,como que helen se funde con la orquesta en un abrazo cosmico ,es presiozo .merci beaucoup .helen la drande ,te amo .
I have heard this concert since I was 16 years young, first on the old disk-player of my parents, later hundreds of times. It even appears in my last book "Perspektiven", where the male figur drives after his cleaning-job with his racing bicycle through a city like Paris to his home. There he listens to the piano concerts No. 4 & 5 of Beethoven. It is remarkable, how many female pianists do appear at the heaven of Steinway & Sons in the last years! :-)
Fabelhafte Einspielung durch Helene Grimaud. Herzlichen Dank fuer den Genuss, den Sie uns durch Ihr eindruckvolles musikalisches Talent vermitteln! Liebe Gruesse aus São Paulo/Brasilien!
Thank you. A wonderful performance. My very own concert.
Exquisite. Wonderful. Thank you.
Absolutamente Magistral!!!

🥰💓 magnifique ! Merci 🙏
Was er!!! an Ton zusammensetzte und angab und nun die Art und Weise der Inklangsetzung durch die Dame sind kongenial...
Toujours le même, sans cesse redécouvert, renouvelé. Ici avec tant de grâce, de puissance, de nuances. En suspension au bout de ses doigts, Hélène Grimaud une fois de plus m'emporte bien au-delà du descriptible. Gros frissons, en particulier à partir de 20:16 l'adagio, que je te dédie Philippe si tu passes par là...
Grandiose !!!
Beethoven and I really enjoyed this performance.
Great Performance!
Beautiful concert! Très belle pianiste! Ensorcelant!
Bravo, I enjoy it very much.
A composition that makes you feel a...real Emperor, let's dedicate this spectacular performance those who need to discover the wonder from now on, wishing everybody a happy weekend of love for good vibes of a kind & never let any evil dare to harm you guys ❤🎉❤

MONUMENTAL Y HERMOSA HELENE GRIMAUD.
CON QUE GRACILIDAD Y SOLTURA ARTÍSTICA INTERPRETAS.
TE VES LINDA CON EL PELO RECOGIDO,UN ABRAZO Y UN GRAN BESO,DESDE COLOMBIA TU ADMIRADOR ,QUE SIEMPRE TE AMARA.
Helen you are simply great. Jose Garcia in Mexic City.
Magnificence d'un paysage musical !
Remarkable!!
Bravo!! Simply bravo!!!
Initially listen from 24:52 to 28:35 to appreciate Beethoven ‘s romanticism and the way mrs.Grimaud performs it.
Transcendental.
What a powerful performance!!! A bit too fast for my taste, but anyway really, really one of the best I have ever heard. Wondering how didn't notice this video a long time ago. Txs.
Her fingers don't look very long, especially for a virtuoso, but like the majority of great performers she keeps them beautifully shaped and high to deliver crystal clarity, nimbleness and fluency. I loved her smile after the first movement, and, noticeably, her few slightly longer breaths going into the final movement as she was preparing both physically and mentally for the technical gymnastics ahead.
Dolcissima Helene. Sei una anomalia di cui la natura si compiace, ti tanto in tanto, il riabilitare la specie. Beethoven ti abbraccio da cuore a cuore. Dovunque tu sia.
Y love this beautiful pianist. She plays wonderful.
Magnifique!!!
She definitely is p a r t of an overwhelmingly beautiful o c e a n of music...like an organ in a body ..
There just is nobody like her.
Bravi!🎉🎉🎉
Relentless!
great
