HUMMEL: A COLLECTION OF WORKS - Martin Galling, George Zukerman, Collegium Con Basso (DIGITAL DOWNLOAD)

Martin Galling (pno) Georg Zukerman (bassoon) Collegium Con Basso “altogether this is as tempting a Hummel collection as any we know … His G major (mandolin) Concerto here in even more agreeable form, as Op.73 Piano Concertino, and Martin Galling is even more persuasive, helped by a very spirited backing in Berlin …also La Galante, a lilting Rondo for solo piano … Zukerman and Faerber return for Hummel’s Bassoon Concerto, impressive to be discussed in the same breath as Mozart’s, particularly with this splendid soloist, who is deliciously jocular in the characterful finale. The disc concludes with Septet Militaire, Op.114: the very happy finale, with its ingenious upward scale, is most felicitous” (Gramophone) Piano Concertino in G major, Op 73 [17:47][1] I Allegro moderato 8:52[2] II Andante grazioso 4:12[3] III Rondo 4:42Martin Galling / Berlin Symphony Orchestra / Carl-August Bünte Introduction and Rondeau for Piano,Op120 “La Galante” [8:19][4] I Introduzione 3:02[5] II Rondo 5:17Martin Galling Bassoon Concerto in F major, S 63 WoO 23 [26:17][6] I Allegro moderato 13:19[7] II Adagio 7:26[8] III Rondo 5:31George Zukerman / Württemberg Chamber Orchestra / Jörg Faerber Grand Military Septet in C major, Op 114 [24:18][9] I Allegro con brio 7:43[10] II Adagio 6:48[11] III Menuetto: Allegro 3:57[12] IV Finale: Vivace 5:49
