Hélène Grimaud among first performers at Philharmonie de Paris Hélène Grimaud continues her streak of performing in extraordinary conditions, following December’s stint in a water-filled armory. (...) Grimaud, who performed a solo at the beginning of Ravel’s G Major Concerto, was among the first of several all-star French performers to be heard in the hall, which has been called anything from an intergalactic aircraft to a scorched pile of fallen bricks due to its highly avant-garde construction. Applause filled the halls in support of Philharmonie architect Jean Nouvel and the acoustic masterpiece he created. (...) The hall certainly looks stunning, and the sold-out performance at the Philharmonie de Paris is just the first stop of Grimaud’s 2015 tour. She’ll visit North America in February with performances in California, Ann Arbor and Chicago, then in April for her Kalamazoo performance at The Gilmore.
