Let's embark once again for the most mysterious of trips, the most beautiful of the walks. Let us carry over the notes following the unpredictable movement of an ocean more than capricious. The pace is accelerating, the melody is growing like a swell day of strong wind in the Iroise Sea … then comes the calm after the storm, leaving again appear the sweetness and finesse of the 9 compositions and arrangements of this musical masterpiece.

When Stephen Hough’s disc of Hummel piano concertos came out in the early 1990s, it was a revelation. Here was a much neglected composer whose music responded to Hough’s treatment and made us realise that there was rather more to this man than we might have thought. Having not come across any of Hummel’s fifteen operas on disc before, I had high hopes of this recording. – Robert Hugill, MusicWeb International
