These are highly individual performances of extremely familiar works.

David A. McConnell – November 12, 2019

The Kölner Akademie and Michael Alexander Willens are exceptionally sensitive collaborators,
and their rapport with Brautigam is obvious.

Rainer W. Janka – January 3, 2020

There is no incense-laden Beethoven heroic image here: the tempi are consistently fast,
energetically advancing, often rushing ahead. The "con brio" that Beethoven so often prescribes is
taken by the musicians at their word.

Dr. Jürgen Schaarwächter – January 28, 2020

Phrasing and dynamization are impeccable, from the very first measure. Brautigam’s/Willens'
recording also meets rich competition in the field of historically informed performance practice..

Gramophone – May 3, 2021

Both Brautigam and Willens are alive to Beethoven’s every indication on the page, and that most precious of all commodities in music, the life of the phrase, is sacrosanct.
