Helmchen's programme explores the extremes of Schumann as a piano composer, at both his most inward and his most virtuoso. I have a suspicion that he's more at ease in the former. The most successful readings of the Études symphoniques combine a delight in the physical with a mercurial charm.
At every stage, Helmchen takes full expressive advantage of Schumann’s
lyrical moments, but here again he doesn’t exaggerate them – clearly he is
a musician who believes that implied expression is just as important as explicit statement.
