"... Helmchen has a noble bearing and a noble sound, shaping lines as elegant and clean as a Greek temple’s."
- The New York Times
"... a genuinely distinguished account of the Schumann concerto, beautifully coloured and phrased, with a lightness of touch that's altogether admirable ..."
- The Guardian
"Four Stars ... Helmchen is clearly a staunch advocate for Dvorák's neglected concerto. There are many things to enjoy in this beautifully recorded interpretation ... both Helmchen and Albrecht give a magnificently assured performance of the Schumann concerto.”
- BBC Music Magazine
Acclaimed young pianist Martin Helmchen is joined by the Orchestre Philharmonique de Strasbourg under Marc Albrecht on these refreshingly inventive and innovative interpretations of piano concertos by Schumann and Dvořák.
