Excellent performances throughout, especially No. 3. The tempo of the central movement is a bit on the fast side for me but the outer movements are really very good.

A composer who is never too far away from being frequently listened to is Sibelius. I have just finished this set....

A nod in the direction of our Jared with this vinyl offering....
I know that Hummel was primarily a pianist but it really shows with the superlative writing for the piano part in both of these works.

Re: What are you listening to?
^^ agreed, Fergus. If you're to take out LvB and Schubert from the Late Classical/ Early Romantic cusp, then Hummel was one of the most talented of the rest... LvB admired him greatly. As I've said before, one of his great gifts was to be able to write for diverse selections of instruments and in general, I find his music very joyous and uplifting. For me, he's one of those composers I go back to, to put a smile on my face!

indeed Sean, it IS a fine version, although it is a piece which I really have to be in the right mood for, and only gets an occasional air play these days.Seán wrote:Well Jared, they are led by the great Doctor Reiner after all.Jared wrote:it's simply YEARS since I last listened to this CD..
