Work: Piano Sonata no. 2 in F sharp minor, Op.2

A fascinating recital from Hélène Grimaud at the Barbican balanced a first half sequence exploring works with an aquatic theme against some monumental Brahms. 

Helene Grimaud's recital inside Disney Hall mucially captures and captivates nature's terrene elements with a balance of aqueous colouring and deeply grounded terra firma.

Emanual Ax demonstrated brilliance both as creative innovator and performer, paying homage the pianist's pianist, Johannes Brahms.
