"The brilliance and melodiousness of these concertos are immediately appealing" said Gramophone magazine when first reviewing this recording back in the 1980's. Johann Nepomuk Hummel is still not widely heard these days, but he forms a crucial link between his teachers Mozart and Beethoven and his youthful admirer Chopin. This recording of the A minor concerto won a number of awards when it was recorded in the 1980's and for many people brought the pianist Stephen Hough to their attention, and he is expertly accompanied here by the English Chamber Orchestra conducted by our Artist of the Week, Bryden Thomson.
