Quick Hits: Helene Grimaud plays live:
"Cerebral" and "passionate." Words often used by critics to describe pianist Hélène Grimaud and her interpretations of Mozart, Liszt and Bartók. Having met her, we would now add "enchanting." Grimaud looks like a French actress and speaks about her art with an almost childlike wonder. But there's a fierce intelligence at work, and her performances provide "a glimpse of the transcendental," as one London reviewer put it.
