Johann Nepomuk Hummel – London Mozart Players, Howard Shelley
Ballet Music From: Sappho Von Mitilene • Das Zauberschloß • Twelve Waltzes And Coda
Album 2007 on Chandos label
Classical (Classical, Romantic)
TT 75:39 Premiere recordings Recorded in 24-bit/96 kHz Recording venue: St. Silas the Martyr church, Kentish Town, London; 3 & 4 July 2006 Printed in the EU CD is packaged in a standard plastic clear-tray jewel case along with a 40 page (stapled) booklet, notes in English with German and French translations. Note: In booklet p.4, the tempo directions listed for 'Das Zauberschloß' do not show a hyphen between "Lento" (which falls at the end of the line) and the following "Allegro con spirito" (which starts the next line). But the direction "Lento Allegro con spirito" makes no sense in the context of the music; the Lento section is a set of variations on the then well-known tune 'La Follia' (or "Folies d'espagnol') here played slow and stately, with a decisive end. The Allegro con spirito follows, the key dropping a semitone from E minor to E flat major. The hypen was added to the listing for track 13 to clear up any confusions.
