Hélène Grimaud (J Henry Fair / DG)Sounds from Down Under
As a French pianist who happens to raise a pack of wolves at her home, Hélène Grimaud’s upcoming recording deals with a theme that must not be far from her mind, “death and transcendence.” The former child prodigy will discuss this new Deutsche Grammophon release, featuring works from Chopin and Rachmaninov, and we may even coax her into mentioning her synaethesia (the ability to hear in color). Also on the show, the Go-Betweens, dubbed “the quintessential cult band of the 80’s.” Arriving with a new release, and reunited after a long split, the Aussie duo will discuss their on and off relationship, and their claims that the Australian Premier and Princess of Monaco name themselves as fans.
