Hummel now enjoys the popularity he deserves, thanks in part to the dedication of Howard Shelley. Shelley presents the latest in his series of Hummel works for Chandos and on this occasion shows a lesser-known side to Hummel's compositional style: that of dance-composer.
"Howard Shelley's light touch, fresh and colourful orchestral playing, and excellent recording, make this very well worth hearing on its own account, not simply as a rediscovered rarity." BBC Music
