\u201cAndreas M\u00fchlen introduced himself as a pianist who is able to sensitively
\nfeel his way into the most varied musical styles and to implement them perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Westdeutsche Zeitung \u201c\u2026a treat for Beethoven enthusiasts\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u2026Muehlen stays away from kitsch and sentimentality and instead again and again offers surprising perspectives on familiar pieces. Especially in the \u201cAppassionata\u201d he has shed all that is external. The eruptions of the first movement are forged in an unrelenting process with enormous mental exertion.<\/p>\n

Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung, \u201cExciting Niches in Repertoire \u2013 Andreas Muehlen \u2026 at the \u201eKlavierwoche\u201c in the DAI, Heidelberg\u201c<\/h2>\n

\u2026 finely heard especially the calm pieces like \u201eLa cath\u00e9drale engloutie\u201d or \u201cLa fille aux cheveux de lin\u201d, excellent also the precise sense for Spanish colouring in \u201cLe s\u00e9renade interrompue\u201c and \u201eLa puerta del vino\u201c. The latter proved itself even more impressive in Manuel de Falla\u00b4s \u201cFantasia Baetica\u201d, written for Arthur Rubinstein in 1919, whose rhythmic and melodic creative riches Andreas Muehlen knew to put into a very convincing balance. The finest Spanish magic scintillated also from the encores, asked for enthusiastically, by Granados\u2026, Alb\u00e9niz \u2026 and once more de Falla\u2026<\/p>\n

Wilhelmshavener Zeitung, \u201cA competent Debussy Interpreter\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201c\u2026 the second part of the concert showed Andreas M\u00fchlen to be a competent Debussy interpreter. M\u00fchlen\u00b4s extremely cultivated touch enables him to differentiate between various shades of sounds. In this successful performance the pianist gave the Bechstein-concert piano the range of colours of a whole orchestra.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rheinische Post, \u201cFireworks of Sound at the Piano\u201d<\/h2>\n

\u201cAnd it was an evening of superlatives \u2026 The second part starts with the agility of Chopin and the poetic elegance of Debussy. Andreas M\u00fchlen performs Chopin\u00b4s Nocturne in b-minor at a fluent speed. Fascinatingly breathed pianissimo parts.<\/p>\n

M\u00fchlen makes the piano sing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Westf\u00e4lische Nachrichten, \u201cNarrator on the Piano\u201d Andreas M\u00fchlen convinces with Beethoven Sonatas<\/h2>\n

\u201cIn the first movement of the Sonata op.110 M\u00fchlen made exactly that romantic impetus audible which has long shed the narrowness of classical formal restrictions. The deeply moved rhetoric of the movement sounded very uniform, as if made from one cast. M\u00fchlen managed the most beautiful moments when he searched with sensitive tonality for the inner truth of the piece in c-minor \u2013 a narrator on the piano. The joy of making music as well as the well-dosaged rubati make the Allegro con brio a real adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Solinger Morgenpost, \u201cPrecise as a Clockwork\u201d<\/h2>\n

The pianist Andreas M\u00fchlen celebrates \u201cEl Piano Espa\u00f1ol\u201d \u2026 He has none of the stylish manners of the virtuoso \u2026, but arouses in pieces of Enrique Granado and Manuel da Falla sound adventures which take your breath away and leave the audience at times numbed with the force of the explosions \u2026 Not one tone gets lost in the structure of sound, in the rushing temperament of the dances. \u2026<\/p>\n

The Spanish element was bound into the European one to such a signalising extent, the mastery subordinated to cultural farsightedness. We may well speak of a truly great evening at the Museum Baden.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
