The Piano Quintet displays perhaps an even greater range of styles within a work of unusual purity written under the looming shadow of war.
Martin Helmchen is a former member of the BBC New Generation Artist Scheme (2005-2007) and was the 2001 winner of the Clara Haskill Competition.
‘Jurowski and the LPO provided a spot-on accompaniment for Martin Helmchen in Shostakovich’s light-hearted Second Piano Concerto. Launched by perky woodwinds…Helmchen gave a delightfully unaffected, affectionate, and note-perfect, performance… There was a real fizz to the outer movements… the slow movement…rapt, nocturnal and magical, enough to melt the hardest of hearts.’ - Classical Source, 2009
