GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE




...There’s a nice parallel here. Hummel was Mozart’s student and the boy lodged with the great man, striving (one imagines) to be a little version of his mentor. Some 40 years later Hummel reproduced that dynamic in music, miniaturising Mozart piano concertos for a chamber band. They are lovely arrangements. In practice, of course, much of the fascination comes from the fact that the down-sizing is only in terms of numbers. There is no reason why more intimate forces should not reproduce emotional effects with just as much power. Shiraga’s series continues to give great pleasure...

(Gramophone)



Johann Nepomuk Hummel hade redan i 7-årsålderna en mycket nära relation till familjen Mozart. Hummels pianospel lovprisades av Mozart och med tiden blev Hummel en hyllad pianovirtuos. Hummel gjorde kammarmusikaliska arrangemang av sju av Mozarts pianokonserter. Här ingår två av dessa, bl a "Kröningskonserten".

Fumiko Shiraga, piano; Henrik Wiese, flöjt;
Peter Clemente, violin; Tibor Bényi, cello.
