Hummel: Piano Trios

Usually when you go looking for obscure classical repertoire like Hummel trios, you have to put up with whatever you can get. What a treat it is to hear this music played by the world's best-known trio! These high-voltage performers really have a time with Hummel's expert writing (he was, after all, a pupil of Mozart). They bring out all his forecastings of the Romantic era, and his sense of humor as well. (Wait till you hear them scampering through the finale of Op. 65!) Lovely recorded sound, too. I hope this group's celebrity will lead potential listeners to discover this almost first-rate music by an undeservedly forgotten composer. --Leslie Gerber

5 out of 5 stars HIMMELISCH HUMMEL (Complete!!!!).......2001-07-15

You can't keep a good man down! Ah, Hummel, you sly devil!

With contemporaries like Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven all nipping and tucking with their piano trios simultaneously, Hummel (1778-1837) really had to know what he was up against, musically, if not psychologically and emotionally, and to stand his ground amongst these giants. No mean task; but our intrepid Hummel withstood firmly and added to the repertoire seven piano trios that are virtual founts of continuous invention, melody, and an enduring humanity that never fail to please nor touch us.

Naturally, by no stretch of the imagination can Hummel be considered a composer with the depth of a Beethoven (but, then, how many composers can?) or a Mozart (ditto); no, he's more akin to Haydn, especially in these piano trios. Yet, there is more to Hummel than meets the ear--- and although profundity does not run rampant throughout these works, neither are they mere superficial excursions or frothy entertainments. On the contrary, every trio is a well-wrought composition; from the earliest Op. 12 to the last, Op. 96, each offers up its own unique rewards and very special delights diverse enough to tantalize the most jaded palate.

The Trio Parnassus--- an absolute gem of an ensemble--- play these Hummel trios with a warmth and love that simply radiates. And how well-integrated these artists are! As near to perfection as one could wish for. Their immersion in this music is total and infectious and contagious. The recording, too, is topnotch in every respect. This is, indeed, heavenly stuff.

What a treat it is to hear this music played by the world's best-known trio! These high-voltage performers really have a time with Hummel's expert writing (he was, after all, a pupil of Mozart). They bring out all his forecastings of the Romantic era, and his sense of humor as well. (Wait till you hear them scampering through the finale of Op. 65!) Lovely recorded sound, too.

          5 out of 5 stars HEAVENLY HUMMEL!.......2000-07-15

          Here's yet another composer who has remained fairly obscure--- not so obscure as to be unknown, of course--- but, actually, not quite on everyone's "Top Ten" composers list, either. Imagine trying to write music beneath the shadows of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven? You'd have to be crazy, persistent or talented (or any combination of these). What Hummel succeeded in doing was to assimilate--- probably with Mozart's prodding--- and use the musical influence(s) of his contemporaries. This was an intelligent thing to do because Hummel, most assuredly, is not what I would classify as a "great" composer, but his musical output has its gems. And this CD is a perfect example.

          Nobody who has not been captured by the piano trios of Haydn and Mozart could fail to be absolutely smitten by these enchanting Hummel works. And, interestingly enough, Hummel is rather his own man. He's not Mozart. He's not Haydn, and he can hardly be accused of writing music too derivative, either. That's the wonder of it all. It should amaze us that these works can hold their own with ease.

          Hummel charms us with perky melodies throughout, jaunty rondos and lyrical andantes. With the Beaux Arts threesome at their finest, and with good, warm sound, this music is never less than completely delightful.

                Hummel's piano chamber music tends to be written for piano plus accompaniment but these delightful trios give equal weight to the violin and cello. The playing of Triangulus is superbly integrated and Lyn Garland's beautiful articulation and careful modulation suggests that she is the successor to Menahem Pressler of the Beaux Arts Trio.
                The recorded sound is first class with all three instruments clearly distinguishable at all times.
