Throughout the programme, the pianist plays as if she fully understands what Beethoven meant when wrote that "it's impossible to leave the world until I've brought forth all that is in me ... Providence, grant me but one day of pure joy." In this recording, Grimaud grants the listener one full hour of the pure joy Beethoven was referring to. This is a masterpiece. Kevin Mulhall

Extractions: Music Notes The only thing I could think about as I sat impatiently through the fifteen-minute delay at Shriver Hall last Saturday night, awaiting the appearance of pianist Helene Grimaud, was that I cant stand classical music recitals. You see, not more than a month ago, while I was in New York for the break, I attended a concert put on by the Wild Ginger Philharmonic. Self-financed and chock full of some of the best musicians found amongst the crop at Juilliard and Curtis (two top-notch music schools), Wild Ginger put on a pretty different type of show in a little Upper West Side Presbyterian church equipped with flying buttresses, Samsonite folding chairs, and just enough space to allow the sound to flow freely without everyone having to sit cramped together like sardines. For starters, everyone there was young at least under 25. (Except, of course, for the middle-agers that put up the bucks.) And believe it or not, the orchestra was dressed casually in tees and button-down shirts untucked! and baggy pants, in an array of colors. It actually took me a moment to notice this particular characteristic as my friends and I were still laughing up the fact that the group had just collectively screamed in unison as they ran out onto the stage, instruments in hand.

Extractions: Ravel Rhapsodie espagnole In the Janacek's Suite from The Cunning Little Vixen , Vladimir Ashkenazy did not seem to be really conducting or leading the orchestra; he had no sense of the dramatic contour of the work, sounding as it did so totally disjointed and uncoordinated. A disappointing start to the evening. Things improved somewhat with Ravels Piano Concerto in G, played with great passion and precision by Helene Grimaud; this wonderful pianist combines great intelligence with a dazzling technique, her incredibly nimble fingers making short work of even the most difficult arpeggios. Unlike her conductor, she had total control, flare and rhythmic vitality. Unfortunately, sometimes her playing was engulfed by the hall's notoriously dry acoustic, and on occasion even drowned out by the orchestras excessively loud playing, due entirely to Ashkenazy's bombastic conducting. Being a renowned pianist himself, fellow feeling at least should have produced a far more sympathetic and sensitive accompaniment.

Extractions: School Links By Mary Ellyn Hutton, Post music writer ''I Hear a Waltz'' might be the theme of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's ''Viennafest '99,'' opening this weekend at Riverbend. But some of the three-quarter-time music will have an American accent. Each of the four concerts - 8:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, also July 30 and 31 - will begin with a waltz by Johann Strauss Jr. composed for his 1872 visit to the United States. They are ''Greeting to America,'' ''Jubilee,'' ''Manhattan'' and ''Farewell to America.'' All but one quote ''The Star Spangled Banner.'' The exception is ''Manhattan,'' which must have given Strauss a more sedate impression than one might expect, since it alludes to ''Old Folks At Home.'' As in the past, ''Viennafest'' will spotlight young artists, with guest appearances by flutist Emmanuel Pahud, pianist Helene Grimaud and violinist Leila Josefowicz. Also featured will be pianist Barry Douglas, 1986 gold medalist at the Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow. Pahud, 29, principal flutist of the Berlin Philharmonic (like James Galway before him), opens the series at 8:30 p.m. Friday with Mozart's Flute Concerto No. 2.

Extractions: (February 3) - Any classical pianist who raises wolves for a hobby had better know what she's doing. For French-born pianist Helene Grimaud, both the playing and the raising come naturally. But more about the wolves later. Right now, Grimaud, speaking from Rome, wants to talk about music. In her concerts in Italy, and here with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, Grimaud is playing the Ravel G major concerto, which wasn't her first choice. "I'd rather play Beethoven's fourth or Brahms's first concerto, but in Rome they needed a French concerto for their French program and in Israel they preferred Ravel too. Don't get me wrong - the Ravel is a fine piece but others are more emotional for me. Yet it is a good discipline for me. You can't go through life doing only what you want to do. Sometimes it's good to be put in a situation where at the end you learn more about the piece and about yourself and you grow. And of course once you are doing the concerto you have to be 100% about it." Grimaud argues that in a way Ravel is not really jazzy, although many talk about the jazz elements in his music.

Extractions: For the last two years, pianist Hélène Grimaud and her photographer boyfriend have lived in a small house an hour's drive outside New York City. It's convenient to area airports - Grimaud travels often to play with such ensembles as the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Orchestre de Paris - but the property also affords space for the pianist's other preoccupations: three British Columbian wolves, which she raised from infancy. Apache, Lucas, and Kayla live in a two-acre enclosure surrounded by a high double fence. When Grimaud visits them, she dons padded overalls. Apache, a big white two-year-old male and leader of the pack, jubilantly bounds to Grimaud and leaps all over her, almost doglike in his delight; the other two hang back. "Wolves are like most wild creatures," Grimaud says. "They want to be left alone." Grimaud, 28, is petite and intense, a self-confessed "control freak" who edits her own recordings, makes her own travel arrangements, and limits her concert engagements to those that will not take her away from her animals for more than 10 days a month. That coiled energy explodes in performances of stunning beauty and insight, such as the Beethoven Concerto No. 4, recently performed and recorded with the New York Philharmonic, that left the audience gasping for breath. It also fuels her passion for wolves, creatures that she believes have been unfairly demonized in literature and history.
