Hummel/ Brunmayr-Tutz/ Linden/ Van Oort - Sonatas & Variations

The chamber music with flute by Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) is, although always elegant and cheerful, never merely trivially smooth. Rather, it continues to surprise with it's great melodic charm and winning ideas. It is light music in the best sense, calculated to excite connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike. For making music in private, the works prove to be as equally suitable for performance in the bourgeois and aristocratic salons as the public concert hall. The convincing use of historical instruments aims not only at perfect balance, but additional aural appeal.
