Classical CD Review

"...Helmchen has returned to Mozart with these beautiful performance of 2 of the composer's liveliest concertos, 15 & 27. Crystalline pianism throughout, with splendid accompaniment from the fine Dutch orchestra & conductor Nikolic. Well-balanced audio, with natural balance between soloist & orchestra are another plus. Another Mozart concerto easily could have been included; playing time is rather brief. "

AllMusic:
The Mozart readings of German pianist Martin Helmchen have a reserved quality that at 1st hearing makes them seem overly careful & by the book. The dynamic range of the whole is not great, & Helmchen, though he plays a modern piano, favours the small ensemble & the transparent textures of the historical-performance movement. But focus a bit more closely & their particular characters emerge. On this release, Helmchen's 2nd of Mozart concertos, Helmchen differentiates the 2 concertos substantially rather than applying a standard Mozart concerto mode, & for this alone the album is worth hearing. In the lovely performance of the Piano Concerto 15 in B flat major, K. 450, Helmchen adopts an almost liquid texture, focusing on the spaces between the notes. Most unusual is the Piano Concerto 27 in B flat major, K. 595, where Helmchen rejects the supposedly death-haunted sort of innocent transcendence loaded onto this work by the Romantics. Instead, in his hands, Mozart is depicted as having absolutely no plans to die, but rather as ready for the innovations that would have made him into a post-Classical composer had he lived a few more years. The harmonically adventurous development section of the 1st movement is not treated as some quietly mystical experience, but is given a full-blooded reading suggesting Beethovenian dimensions. The finale here doesn't quite work: the limpid rondo theme seems to come out of nowhere in this generally heavier reading. But Helmchen's reading is consistently absorbing, & he's plainly a young Mozartian to watch. PentaTone's sound is awesomely transparent.
