Hummel and Shelley
Allan K. Baars | Cleveland, WI, USA | 01/07/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I purchased this cd for the Piano Concerto in A major which is a beautiful piece. I was also pleased with the first two selections on the cd. What makes all of this music a delight is the performance of Howard Shelley who plays with such clarity and feeling.

I would also like to recommend another cd with the Hummel/Shelley combination. It is Chandos 9558."
An excellent CD!

"Poor Hummel. Taught by Mozart, Joseph Hayden, and Antonio Salieri; friend of Beethoven, Schubert, Goethe, and Shiller; and immensely talented and prolific, Johann Hummel ought to be far better known than he is today. Perhaps in the century or so to come, he'll begin to get some well-deserved popular recognition, and this CD of his beautiful, melodious Piano Concerto in F major certainly won't hurt his chances. Although not as critically acclaimed as his Piano Concerto in A major (also on this CD), the F major concerto is a Romantic gem and can be viewed as the capstone of Hummel's long career. Howard Shelley is technically perfect and emotionally on target throughout this delightful CD."
