  1. Rakastava Op 14 - Jean Sibelius
  2. Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in G - Maurice Ravel
  3. Energy - Matthew Hindson
  4. Suite from Der Rosenkavalier - Richard Strauss
Sibelius’s Rakastava has an elegant beauty that evokes images of the Finnish countryside. Composed in the late 1920s when he toured the USA, Ravel’s Piano Concerto was heavily influenced by the emerging American art form, jazz. Hélène Grimaud brings her formidable technique and finesse to this wonderfully melodic work.

Der Rosenkavalier is perhaps Strauss’s best loved opera. His Rosenkavalier Suite begins with the opera’s orchestral prelude, depicting the night of passion (vividly portrayed by whooping horns) between the two leading characters.

Hélène Grimaud: immense musical skills. - Classic FM.
