H2O in music




Note : the image is a copyright free one that I found and edited. It depicts a drop of water into which I added a musical note clip-art and is also used as the O in the H2O formula representing a water molecule. 

Water is essential to Life as we know it. Water surrounds us, in rivers, lakes, the oceans. They have inspired many authors of fiction and, for this blog's needs, lyricists. So, I thought to share music in regards to this very topic of water, but expand to allegorical uses as well.

Hélène Grimaud (album 23) - Brahms: Piano Concertos



Another project I want to find on cd, I reserved on the media library's website, is Hélène Grimaud's Brahms Piano Concertos, released on dual cd edition (EAN 028947910589), released in 2013 on Deutch Grammophon, just like her 8 previous albums. 

She presents this project in this 
interview also available on the label's website, where you can listen to the entire album on streaming.



I counldn't find a better picture for the backcover, and all amazon websites only offer this one, with the sticker over the track listing 





Hélène Grimaud (album 22) - Water



I just discovered a very interesting trailer for the pianist Hélène Grimaud's album Water, for which she selected pieces with water as a guideline and philosophical exploration, as she explains In this trailer.
