"This Schumann/Reger CD by pianist Thomas Hell might seem unspectacular from the outside, but appearances are deceptive. What is very unusual is the fact that Thomas Hell, who was born in 1970, has made his CD debut with two not exactly common, but extremely difficult monumental works of the German Romantic and late Romantic periods, which indicates that here we do not have a show-off but a true piano artist. When you listen to the CD this assumption is confirmed overwhelmingly. [...] So one may well ask why Thomas Hell, who according to the booklet has won the Prix Blanche Seiva and the Prix SACEM Nadia Boulanger, has still not made it to the top ranks of the young German pianists. And besides: when are we going to see his next CD?" (piano)
