"Hélène Grimaud, the 'wolf woman', is perhaps the most fascinating artist of our time." (Le Figaro)
"The final disc offers us what has become the great warhorse of the piano concerto repertoire: Rachmaninov's ever-popular Second. Here Grimaud is aided by Vladimir Ashkenazy, who of all modern performers must have the greatest pedigree when it comes to this work both as a pianist, and as here, as conductor. Grimaud and Ashkenazy conjure up an experience to savour. You get a strong sense of the expertise of the master being passed on to the pupil. The result, certainly ranks with the best. The magic is carried over into the solo piano pieces...This is an excellent set therefore; one which would complement most collections." (MusicWeb)
