You are right in your assumption there Fergus... I've been meeting myself coming back, to be fair... it's half term holidays and we are fully booked every night. I'm really tired, and opportunities for listening to music have recently been scarce.fergus wrote: You have been a bit quiet recently Jared so I thought that you must be busy with work.
I would be curious about your thoughts on the Hummel String Quartets.
Unlike his Masses which I consider to be hidden gems, the Hummel SQs are simply not in the same league as those of his contemporaries, Beethoven or Schubert, however they are very pleasant and very pleasingly played, with typically high sound quality you'd expect from Hyperion, on this set:
I enjoy them very much, and if String Quartets from the late Classical period interest you, then you should purchase them. They would be most akin to Beethoven's op.18, but not as accomplished...
