Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2018
Hummel was a very fine and undeservedly neglected composer. He wrote some lovely and enjoyable music in a variety of genres, keeping to classical form, and early romantic styling, with beautiful lyricism. These flute sonatas are quite nice and well played. Hummel deserves more attention and respect.
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016
As an 8 year child, Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) took 2 years of free lessons from Wolfgang Mozart. So it is no surprise that Hummel’s early compositions sound much like his illustrious teacher, and give the keyboard a prominent position in these flute sonatas.
Such is the case with the G Major Sonata, Op.2 No.2 which was published in 1792, and its bright opening ‘Allegro’ often sounds like a piano sonata with flute accompaniment. Firmly anchored in the Classical tradition, it is full of long keyboard runs that are echoed in the flute while at other times the melodic lines are simply doubled. An elegant ‘Romanze: Poco andante’ features attractive melodies especially in the darker middle section that turns to minor, but frequently the lines appear independent of one another. The solo wind instrument slides more into the background for the closing ‘Rondo’, falling totally silent for long passages of the glittering finale.
Written some 20 years later, the sonata in D Major, Op.50 displays a more confident hand with the flute, giving it primary place in presenting the memorable melody of the sunny ‘Allegro’. With brief descents in minor and virtuosic flourishes for both voices, Hummel exhibits a broader range of moods, from a majestic march to feathery flute passages to a grand sweeping conclusion. A minor keyed movement of sorrowful beauty, the following ‘Andante’ does not sink into deep pathos as the lightness of the wind instrument keeps it from being too dark and gloomy. And it is the flute that leads into the bright ‘’Rondo pastorale’. With lots of fleet fingered runs on the keyboard, the two voices indulge in playful games of hide and seek as the finale rolls to an exultant end.
In the A Major Sonata, Op.64, the transition toward granting more responsibility to the flute continues. Composed in 1814 or 1815, the triple metered opening ‘Allegro con garbo’ has the piano present the initial melody, but then the flute takes charge. Restless arpeggios from the keyboard provides a backdrop for the adventurous ‘Menuetto moderato’ while a fragmented flute overlays coloration in the rhythmically ambiguous 1st section. Shifting into the lower register, the piano supplies an insistent pattern under the graceful fluidity of the upper wind in the charming trio. Lightly tripping down the keys, the piano begins the sparkling ‘Rondo vivace’. The brilliant tone of the finale darkens with the somber intrusion of the left hand of the pianist before a luminous flute elevates the 3rd movement once more.
Listed as being in G Major, the Grand Rondeau of 1834, Op.126 actually opens with a minor tinged ‘Adagio’. With the piano establishing the dark mood, the soaring flute carries an extended aria overhead. Heavy with melancholy, and rich with ornamentation and bravura displays, it is a fine example of early Romanticism. Gradually emerging from the shadows, a lively rondeau springs forth at 3:30 with a dizzying array of shaded tones and chromatic variances.
Published in 1818, the Trio in A Major Op.78 is based on a familiar Ukrainian folk song, one that Beethoven had appropriated 2 years earlier, ”Schone Minka”. Adding a cello expands the possible pairings available, and Hummel takes full advantage of the opportunity, using the lower pitched string to smooth and broaden the dramatic range of the introductory ‘Cantabile’, before the keyboard presents the minor keyed theme. The seven variations provide virtuosic showcases for all three instruments, not as pure soloists, but more as featured voices with the others in close support. The effect is mesmerizing. Standouts include the lyric beauty of No.4, the jagged frenzy of No.5 and the suspended tranquility of No.6.
Recorded in 1995, the Naxos production is fine, although the piano sounds a bit recessed with a slight echo as the result. The Canadian based musicians are top notch. Lise Daoust on flute has a light, airy tone while the pianist Carmen Picard demonstrates an easy and accomplished technique. Hummel may be best known for his piano compositions, but this excellent disc shows him equally adept at writing for the flute.

Excellent recording
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 12, 2014
The Penguin Guide has given this recording 3 very well deserved Rosettes. The playing is vital and lively with great attention to articulation and detail. There is an endless flow of Italinate melodies and inventive contrapuntal harmonies. Highly recommended.

Old-fashioned but very listenable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 3, 2015
A contemporary of Beethoven who remained locked into traditional Haydnesque 18th century music and as a consequence is now overlooked
It is a credit to Naxos that they've covered some many artists who can hardly be regarded as commercial,and unlikely to make them any money
Very nice music - well played and produced
