"[Hélène] Grimaud doesn't sound like most pianists," proclaims The New Yorker, also calling her "a reinventor of phrasings" and "taker of chances;" here she opens the 2025 Festival season with Brahms' monumental First Piano Concerto. Surrounding Brahms' intense work are familiar showstoppers: Ravel's famously unrelenting Boléro, a dreamy suite from the ballet Daphnis et Chloé, and fantastic musical fireworks by Stravinsky.
