Everything about H L Ne Grimaud totally explained
Hélène Grimaud (born
November 7,
1969) is a
French pianist.
She was born in
Aix-en-Provence,
France. She is descended from
Sephardi Jews from
Corsica on her mother's side and from
Berber Jews on her father's side. Her family changed its name from Grimaldi before she was born. She has described herself as an "extremely agitated" child, having a problem over-focusing; she was a give-her-all-or-none type of child. She discovered the
piano at seven. She entered the
Paris Conservatory in 1982 where she studied with
Jacques Rouvier. In 1985 she won first prize at the Conservatory and the
Grand Prix du Disque of the
Charles Cros Academy for her recording of the
Rachmaninov Piano Sonata No. 2. In 1987, she launched her professional career with a solo recital in
Paris and a performance with the
Orchestre de Paris under
Daniel Barenboim.
At 21, Ms. Grimaud moved to
Florida,
United States and later lived outside
New York City. After some time spent in
Berlin, she currently resides in
Switzerland. She is known for her passion for
wolves, which she studies and raises. She now divides her time between her musical career and the
Wolf Conservation Center, which she co-founded with her then-companion, the photographer
J. Henry Fair. She also experiences
synesthesia, where one physical sense adds input to another, for example tasting words, or in her case, seeing music as color.
