Hélène Grimaud
The work is misidentified on the video; it is not Beethoven, but obviously Mozart!

Dans l’édition du lundi 30 juin 2014 du Devoir, Guillaume-Bourgault-Côté consacre un article au cinquantenaire de l’album A Love Supreme de John Coltrane, auquel le saxophoniste Yannick Rieu, le pianiste François Bourassa, le contrebassiste Guy Boisvert et le batteur Kevin Warren s’apprêtaient à rendre hommage, ce même jour, au Festival de jazz de Montréal.
En extrait vidéo (20 min.), le concert de Coltrane à Antibes en 1965.

In Le Devoir of May 31, 2004, music critic Christopher Huss writes about ”one of the most beautiful discographic projects of these last decades”, realized under the aegis of Venice’s Palazzetto Bru Zane, which aims at a rediscovery of 19th century French music. Four releases are especially recommended ((Massenet, Le mage; Massenet, Thérèse; Joncières, Dimitri, and a portrait of Théodore Gouvy). A must-read for any lover of French music avid to discover more.
