Reviews
Hummel is shown in a new light in these premiere recordings. Shelley lends a his usual classy touch to these attractive works.
Classic FM Magazine
Howard Shelley’s light touch, fresh and colourful orchestral playing, and excellent recording, make this very well worth hearing on its own account, not simply as a rediscovered rarity.
BBC Music Magazine
For the most part the music as pastoral and engaging, with plenty of opportunities for sol orchestral contributions. Cheerfully urged on by Howard Shelley, the London Mozart Players rise to these occasions with relish, and the Chandos recording is careful to keep them lucid but still within an orchestral balance.
