    Hummel was an amazing composer. His music is of an elegance and beauty that deeply enchants us. Although he was an extraordinary musician in the various genres he composed, he is fabulous to me in piano concerts he wrote. The grace, lyricism, subtlety and unbelievable musical harmony, makes him a true genius in this genre of music, that are true masterpieces. Viva Hummel and his divine music.
    The pianist is fantastic not only for the sensitivity he conveys to us but for the excellent virtuosity he employs. The orchestra and conducting are superb.
    Thanks for the moments of unforgettable pleasure that this magnificent recording gives us.

    I remember "discovering" Hummel just before starting uni (in 1968!) - a record of his double concerto (violin & piano) and first piano concerto was one of the 8 records I took with me when I started - and was one of the ones I played most. Recently I bought a box set of his music - 20 CDs - and I've not listened to them all yet... As others here have said, he's still underrated, though he is better known no than 50 years ago!

    Its amazing how top quality production values can bring a piece to life. This is how classical music should be heard: in full clarity and in full force, like you're in the middle of the orchestra yourself. I hope amazing production values like this will continued to be pursued in classical recordings in the future. Poor recording quality only re-enforces the misconception that classical music is a thing of a past.

    White we may lament as to why Hummel was forgotten, he had by all accounts a wonderful life when compared to Beethoven and at one stage was the most expensive and celebrated teacher in Europe . I have followed his remarkable revival from oblivion and now we are seeing others like Czerny following in his footsteps. He has certainly enriched the lives of those of us who enjoy his music. If you enjoy Hummed I recommend you also listen to the piano concertos and chamber works of Carl Czerny as I cannot help but think that his works were what Hummel might have written if he had lived. (eg the A minor concerto and the newly released premiere recording of the Grand Concerto in E flat on Naxos.

    • @StuartSimon

      Stuart McLaren Hummel was still alive when Czerny’s A-minor concerto was written in 1828. For Hummel’s part, I believe that he wasn’t in the business of ripping off his own hit, and Czerny’s concerto is inspired by Hummel’s in several key places.

      I have been following Hummel's revival for many years and remember the first recording of this must be 40 years ago. But his big break came in 1988 with the now famous recording by Stephen Hough and the ECO which won the recording of the year in the concerto section. He did it again a few years later with the recording of his masses. All his piano concertos have been recorded at least once and some several times.

      I never expected such color & feeling could be achieved with this instrument. Combining the sturm und drang of the early Beethoven concertos with the joyful lyricism of Chopin, Maestro Hummel welcomed the Romantic era in a dramatically operatic fashion. This is a wonderful performance of a composer who wrote way more than trumpet pieces.

      Having no experience in this area, it would be presumptuous of me to assess the validity of your statement. What would be of interest to me would be to hear this same music played on modern instruments, as a way of comparing the differences. I have heard it said that Beethoven was, essentially, composing for instruments that did not exist yet. It may well prove to be the same case here.

      I don’t entirely agree. I think there are gains here and there with the fortepiano and older instruments, particularly as regards clarity, range of colour , clarity etc. Doesn’t displace the Hough / Gibson version but there’s room for different perspectives.

    Hermoso, perdon por mi ignorancia pero al compositor no lo tenía ni siquiera en mi radar de conocimiento. Que lindo concierto de piano

    beautiful ! just discovered this composer and i love it. Perhaps is the piano forte a bit dry, i guess it's due to the instrument itself, sounds like a young chang low cost.

    I really hate to say something heretical, but often I prefer Hummel to Beethoven.

      I totally prefer Hummel. Not a fan of Beethoven or Mozart. Hummel is the best. I discovered him only about 15 years ago.

    Hummel was so unlucky as to live the same time with Beethoven....

      Hummel probably wouldn't have said so. They were very good friends - so much so that at Beethoven's request, Hummel performed at the great man's memorial concert.

      Hummel is better than Beethoven.

      I have felt guilty for extolling the names of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven just because everybody else does. If I could really tell the difference, then why can’t I tune late to a classical radio station, listen to a composition which I have never heard before, and tell by the mere quality of the composition whether it’s Bach or Telemann, Mozart or Salieri, or Beethoven or Hummel?
      I posed this question on an Internet forum and was told that the work of the greater composers lies not in its beauty but in its innovativeness.

      I wonder how much attention the Hummel trumpet concerto would get if Beethoven composed a trumpet concerto.

      Do you think there is only one place of a composer in this world? ))
