#nowplaying Who doesn't love a nice #ballet? This suite by Johann Nepomuk Hummel, from the ballet Sappho von Mitilene, is one of my favourite late-#classical or #earlyromantic #symphonic works. The coda of the opening movement is thoroughly #Hummel, a pupil of #Mozart and sometimes described as Mozart on steroids. Although by no means an unknown composer, Hummel does not belong to the #canon.

Moment d'émotion hier soir au Théâtre des Champs-Élysées: Matthias #Goerne fait Chevalier des Arts et Lettres à l'issue d'un récital où le sens inouï de la narration et des contrastes du #baryton allemand (accompagné dans des versions orchestrées de #Lieder de #Schubert par la Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen sous la baguette de Manfred Hohneck) faisait comme toujours des merveilles!
