**** Excellent Album

Thomas Deschamps – Classica magazine (France) – February 2021

Performance **** Recording ****

“… The generous interplay between the three soloists Helchen and violinist Antje Weithaas alongside Hecker – is a joy, finely judged, sensitive and exuberant in turn, and full of refreshing clarity.”

Sarah Unwin Jones – BBC Music magazine – January 2021

"... Every encounter with the incomparable Andrew Manze seems to bring surprising new insights; fortunate the soloist who can rely on his imaginative direction... Helmchen is extraordinarily adept at creating vivid contrasts between areas of repose and eruptions of energy. Without being fussy, he is ever on the lookout for the telling detail, be it in phrasing or passagework..."

Patrick Rucker - Gramophone magazine - December 2020

"... All told, then, a hit! The Triple Concerto is particularly good ... definitely one of the Beethoven 250 releases that I’ll be playing for many years to come.

Simon Thompson – MusicWeb-International.com – 27 November 2020

“… Martin Helmchen presents a very lively and inspired recording of the Third Piano Concerto. But even more pleasing is the Triple Concerto, with very personal and rhetorical playing by cellist Marie-Elisabeth Hecker and especially by violinist Antje Weithaas. It is a real, very committed conversation that develops between the three soloists, with the orchestra also having an important say. Thus, the cycle, which has sometimes been a little tired so far, is concluded with a really exciting and attractive recording of the Triple Concerto.” ****

Remy Franck – Pizzicato.lu – 5 November 2020
