Valerie Coleman
›Umoja – Anthem of Unity‹

George Gershwin
Piano Concerto in F major

Dmitri Shostakovich
Symphony No. 1 in F minor

Hélène Grimaud Piano

Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin

Valerie Coleman’s ›Umoja‹ combines the dance-like unpredictability of Debussy’s ›Jeux‹ with African American folklore traditions. Hélène Grimaud’s electrifying piano playing is ideally suited to George Gershwin’s thrilling Concerto. A symbiosis of perfection and sensation!
