Hummel/ Deljavan/ Cammarano/ Magariello - Comp Pno Trios

Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a pupil of Mozart. A child prodigy himself, he developed a highly virtuoso technique on the piano, and built an impressive career as one of the most famous and sought after pianists and composers of early 19th century Europe. Even today some of his piano works offer a serious challenge to professional pianists. Hummel's piano trios are composed in the classical Viennese style, but offer already hints of romantic drama and passion. The instrumental writing is of the highest order for all three instruments. The piano trios are delightful works full of brilliant virtuosity, charm and wit. Excellent performances with a true understanding of the style by three young Italians: pianist Alessandro Deljavan, violinist Daniela Cammarano and cellist Luca Magariello. Recorded in 2013 at the Teatro Comunale in Atri, Italy. Performed on a Steinway piano from the Fabbrini collection in Pescara.
