Hummel (1778-1837)

Description:

Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, and Schubert... In this period when many composers were active along this major trend, there were of course many who have been forgotten. One such composer is Hummel (1778-1837). Nevertheless, there is no doubt that he was highly renowned during his lifetime. Why don't you listen to Hummel's works again now? In the past, Hummel was only known for some of his piano works, but recently, many of his chamber music and other works have finally been recorded, making this a dream come true for those who love the music of this era. Hummel's seven piano trios (some say eight) are all written with exquisite brushwork. It is quite thrilling, with unexpected developments from the beginning of No. 1.No. 4 and No. 5 are just transitional works to the Romantic period, and they are also very interesting, with their well-rounded beauty and the occasional appearance of unconventional parts. It has a different beauty from the piano trios of Schubert and Mendelssohn. The Gould Piano Trio's convincing performance shines through. Naxos Japan
