In awarding Beethoven: Piano Concertos 2 & 5 "Emperor" by Martin Helmchen, Andrew Manze & DSO Berlin its special Beethoven 250 Award Gramophone stated: "It does stand high and proud for its artistry, poetry, stylish musicianship and, perhaps above all, rapport between soloist and conductor. This really does feel like a meeting of minds. This is another account to be placed alongside the finest, including Argerich, and for me surpassing Glenn Gould/Bernstein."
