She began playing the piano at age 7 and, after graduating from the Rostock University of Music and Drama, has been actively performing, including a stint as Artist-in-Residence at the Queen Elisabeth Music Academy in Belgium. She has performed in concert halls around the world and actively participates in chamber music. On her 2018 NAXOS release, *Works for Viola and Piano* (8.573730), she delivers a superb performance—centered primarily on Classical-era pieces—alongside the young Japanese violist Hiyori Togawa.\nThis solo album focuses on “variations,” featuring six sets of variations ranging from Bach-Busoni’s Chaconne to Szymanowski. Through Grigorian’s careful and thoughtful interpretation of each melody, the ingenuity of these composers is vividly brought to life. Notably, the recording of Mendelssohn’s “Strict Variations” includes the “Four Variations” that the composer himself had deleted, offering a glimpse into the nature of Mendelssohn, who was known for frequently revising his own works.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Variations serieuses, Op. 54: Rejected variations No. 11-14\u003cbr\u003e2.Variations chromatiques de concert\u003cbr\u003e3.Variations in B minor, Op. 3\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orchid Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525307523361,"sku":"5060189560882","price":4090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5060189560882.jpg?v=1789730754","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5060189560882","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
