This is the debut album of Martin Helmchen, prize-winning 25-year old German pianist whose career received a boost when he won the 2001 Clara Haskil Competition. Though opening salvos fired by so many young pianists today often come in the form of Mozart, it can be a risky business; bad Mozart-playing can signal the quick end to a career because the nature of the music exposes so many strengths and flaws. Even now we see so many album released by “name” piano-players who really don’t have a clue as to how to handle the composer. Helmchen, I am happy to report, has found the key to the puzzle, and acquits himself very well indeed.
“The sound on this issue is sumptuous; you will not hear finer, more articulate clarity in the orchestra on any other recording that I know of and the piano sounds simply marvellous, clean, bold and rich … well worth hearing for those just building a collection or those with 5,000 Mozart concerto discs already in their collection. Unreservedly recommended.” –Fanfare
“It was a bold gesture on the part of talented pianist Martin Helmchen to make his recording debut with two of Mozart’s piano concertos … (his) decision is strongly vindicated by performances that show him to be a highly sensitive performer with a wonderfully limpid piano tone that is almost ideal for Mozart … there are some beautifully articulated accompaniments, the string tone suitably lean in quality … a highly promising and beautifully recorded disc.” –BBC Music Magazine
