Her recital appearances have also taken her throughout Europe and to Israel, Morocco and Russia.
She has also been featured on Mezzo, the international arts television station and on French national radio. Her first CD recording was devoted to Chopin. This was after winning the 1st. prize in the International Chopin Piano Competition in Darmstadt. Hélène has since made more Chopin recordings as well as a Schumann CD of chamber music with wind instruments accompaniment.
