Digital Booklet

“Shelley’s gifts of agility and articulation mean he can make such decorative writing a delight. Even if you might dismiss much of this as mere note spinning, Shelley’s sparkling playing is winning… As ever in this Chandos series, the first-rate recording is clear and vivid, warm and full.”
- Gramophone
“This program is simply delicious. As with other releases in this series, Howard Shelley plays Hummel with elegance and flair. Much of this music, particularly in the shorter concert works, is very brilliant and highly decorative, but Shelley never makes you feel as though it consists of empty note-spinning. The London Mozart Players accompany sensitively and with aplomb. A good time was clearly had by all, including the engineers, who provide vivid sonics.”
- David Hurwitz, ClassicsToday.com
With this release, British pianist Howard Shelley continues his series of Johann Nepomuk Hummel’s works for piano and orchestra, reintroducing the early 19th-century composer to contemporary audiences. Shelley’s nimble and ornate playing is a perfect match for the versatile and moody compositions collected here.
