Pianist Hélène Grimaud’s album ‘Memory’ explores the nature of recollection through a series of exquisite piano miniatures. The choice of repertoire embraces everything from impressionistic reveries by Chopin and Debussy to the timeless, folk-like melodies of Valentin Silvestrov. The French pianist’s recording addresses music’s unique ability to bring images of the past back to life in the present moment, to conjure up vivid evocations of time and place.
