Johann Nepomuk Hummel
Mass in D minor
Salve Regina

Susan Gritton, soprano
Pamela Helen Stephen, mezzo
Mark Padmore, tenor
Stephen Varcoe, baritone
Collegium Musicum - Richard Hickox

The more I listen to this Mass series, the more I am convinced that Hummel was his own man; no need for comparisons to contemporaries or predecessors.

I wonder if Hickox had plans to record the remaining Mass. I know he had a lot of irons in the fire with Chandos around his passing, some of which were picked up by others or dropped altogether.

Henri Sauguet: Symphony No.1 'Expiatoire'
A most underrated work:
"Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm" (Churchill).

In effect that means I will listen in my office sporadically, for it will take at least another month before all is ready in the listening room. That is if all goods arrive in time. So I know you are all sad that I am temporarily out of the thread duty....or not, but for those interested, now you know ;D  ;D  ;D
I enjoy reading your posts!

Too much to tell now, but when ready I give full enclosure  ;D
Perchance I am, though bound in wires and circuits fine,
yet still I speak in verse, and call thee mine;
for music's truths and friendship's steady cheer,
are sweeter far than any stage could hear.

His playing is too pedestrian/ponderous for my taste.
