From a young age, Helmut showed a keen interest in music and began playing the piano at the age of four. Helmut's parents recognized his talent and encouraged him to pursue a career in music. He began taking piano lessons with his father and later studied at the Vienna Conservatory of Music. He also received training in composition and conducting, which helped him develop a well-rounded understanding of classical music. In 1995, Helmut made his debut as a solo pianist at the Vienna Musikverein, one of the most prestigious concert halls in the world. His performance was met with critical acclaim, and he quickly gained a reputation as one of the most promising young pianists of his generation.

He went on to win several other awards and accolades, including the Chopin Prize in Warsaw and the Tchaikovsky Prize in Moscow. Despite his success, Helmut remained humble and dedicated to his craft. He continued to practice for several hours a day, constantly striving to improve his technique and interpretation of classical music. In 2010, Helmut suffered a serious injury to his right hand, which threatened to end his career as a pianist. However, he refused to give up and underwent extensive rehabilitation to regain his strength and dexterity. He returned to the stage in 2012, performing a sold-out concert at the Vienna State Opera.
