Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 35, 36 & 41 (arr J.n. Humm

GRODD EICHHORN RUMMEL KRUGER, UWE GRODD

Hummel, conductor, composer and pianist, whose death ended the great Viennese lineage of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, produced a series of inspired arrangements of Mozart’s symphonies between 1823–24. A lodger and student of Mozart as a child, Hummel’s arrangements demonstrate profound understanding of his teacher’s art. Refusing to vary a single harmony, he did make some changes to accommodate contemporary early Romantic taste, and to bring out intensity of orchestral color as well as offering opportunities for pianistic virtuosity. Symphonies Nos. 38–40 can be heard on Naxos 8.572841.
