Vurdering: 5/5

"Helmchen thoroughly revels in the restless movement and rapid mood-shifts characterising Schumann's 'Novelletten' ... Helmchen gives each section a distinct point of view, yet still manages to integrate them into a cohesive and cumulatively satisfying entity ... Clara Schumann's three 'Soirées musicales' also benefit from Helmchen's vividly detailed and stylistically spot-on treatments ... Let's hope that Helmchen and his vintage Bechstein are destined for further rewarding musical ventures"
