Grimaud's Emperor
Pianist Helene Grimaud says Beethoven's "Emperor" concerto is "totally exhilarating" for both soloist and listeners alike. She says that when she plays it, "It's like he's right there." Meaning Beethoven, of course. We'll hear Helene Grimaud channeling Beethoven, when she performs the Emperor Concerto in Beethoven's home town of Bonn, Germany. Plus, birthday wishes to composers Franz Schubert and Philip Glass.
