"A truly remarkable artist, capable of transcending the piano's essentially percussive nature to create magical worlds of tonal half-lights and ecstatic vocal metaphors." (International Record Review)

This double CD set highlights from Grimaud's DG recordings - developed in close collaboration with the artist. One album is devoted to solo pieces, the other one to concerto movements.

From Bach to Rachmaninov, Mozart to Chopin, Hélène Grimaud's own selection of highlights from her albums reflects her artistic journey through the piano's most famous solo and concerto repertoire in a series of interpretations that never fail to offer new perspectives on even the most familiar music.

"Perspectives" offers the very best of Grimaud's recordings so far with a broad mainstream appeal.
