A former BBC Radio 3 New Generation Artist and the winner of numerous international contests including the 2001 Clara Haskil Competition, Martin Helmchen from Germany is among the fastest-rising young pianists on the scene, counting Mitsuko Uchida and Vladimir Ashkenazy among his mentors. He has chosen a serious and powerful programme for this concert, ranging from Bach's astonishing E minor Partita to the demanding and ecstatic works of Olivier Messiaen.
