As the vibrant works on this new recording demonstrate, the music of Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) deserves to be far better known today than it is. While he was one of the most famous and celebrated composers of the Classical period, his popularity declined rapidly after his death, with the onset of Romanticism, and it is only now that musicians have begun to effect a serious revival of his repertoire.
Hummel’s parallel career as a concert pianist is evident from the sparkling virtuosity of the works heard on this disc, all for fortepiano and orchestra: they span his development from a young composer in the thrall of his mentor Mozart (heard in the charming Piano Concertino in G) to the drama and supreme virtuosity of his final period of creativity (Introduction & Rondo brillant in F minor). It is clear that Romanticism was beginning to take root during his lifetime; the Piano Concerto in A minor, for example, prefigures Chopin in its delicacy, and it is unsurprising that Hummel’s music proved an inspiration to the younger composer.

[@joselopes2293]

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!

[@Gguy061]

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.

[@weile4u]

Comfort of these music is immeasurable and beyond description I'm on cloud

[@stuartmclaren2402]

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.

[@stuartmclaren2402]

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.

More -or less I agree but they’re gains here and there : orchestral sonorities often come across with more immediacy, and I like the extra percussiveness/ clarity of the fortepiano. .

[@barrymalkin9679]

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.

hummel has composed some of the most dramatic and innovative piano concertos of the early 1800's. with spohr and ries he belongs in a group of innovators who are sadly little-known today although in their day they were considered as legitimate successors to beethoven, until schumann gave the title to brahms later on.

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.
