Our Take

Andrew Manze and Martin Helmchen team up with the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin to tackle Beethoven's Piano Concertos 2 & 5, AKA the Emperor. This album is like a musical time machine, transporting you back to when Beethoven was dropping bangers left and right.

Manze's conducting is dynamic and energetic, bringing out the best in Helmchen's nimble fingers as he navigates the intricate passages of these iconic concertos. The orchestra provides a lush backdrop for Helmchen's virtuosic playing, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is both thrilling and deeply moving.

The Piano Concerto No. 2 in B-flat major is a whirlwind of emotion, with Helmchen's expressive playing capturing the tumultuous nature of Beethoven's music. The slower second movement is particularly poignant, with Helmchen's delicate touch bringing out the melancholy beauty of the music.

Moving on to the Emperor Concerto, Helmchen's performance is nothing short of majestic. His bold, powerful playing is a perfect match for Beethoven's grandiose vision, with the orchestra providing a robust accompaniment that adds depth and richness to the performance.

In conclusion, Andrew Manze, Martin Helmchen, and the Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin have delivered a standout album that showcases the timeless beauty and power of Beethoven's Piano Concertos 2 & 5. This is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates the genius of the great Ludwig van.
