    Surprisingly folksy work, touches of Kamarinskaya in the finale. Better than the usual Anton fare. 🙂

    The theme around 15 min. is simply otherworldly to me. The whole concerto feels to be on par with any of the usual repertoire of the 'great' violin concertos and the also lesser-known but also outstanding concerto by the other half-forgotten Hungarian composer, Goldmark Károly (in HU). It simply boggles the mind why more famous or successful violinists don't put these brillant gems on concert stages.

    The Quintet was one of the first Spohr pieces I ever heard, and it's still a favorite of mine. I don't understand how anyone who's heard it can consider Spohr a mediocre composer.

    Thanks for the upload! It's hard to believe that such a prolific, accomplished composer could be overlooked for so long. Despite the clear Brucknerian influences, it was actually her teacher, Reger, who had the biggest influence on her work. I had the pleasure of listening to her recently recorded clarinet quintet & viola works - very captivating pieces indeed. Hopefully, more of her oeuvre (particularly the symphonies) will be explored & recorded in the near future.

    Written at the high point of Viennese Modernism in 1909, conservative only in relation to Schoenberg’s circle, the sensuality of the ecstatic rhythms, the passion of the dynamics and harmony, and the intensity of the extended climax of the last movement makes this ambitious quartet quite literally some of the sexiest music ever

    It's a matter of taste and what you consider a concerto ought to be. I disagree, but only because I prefer symphonic rather than soloistic styles. That said, I consider Hummel's concertos equally worthy to Beethoven's, for what they are. And this one is the most Beethovenian of the lot.

    It's interesting to look at the construction of the first movement and see how Brahms constructed the first movement of his 1st Piano Concerto. The rhapsodic nature of the thematic distribution between solo and tutti brings to mind a linkage between the 22nd Piano Concerto of Mozart (Hummel's teacher), through this one, and on to Brahms.

    @@fazliddinerkaboyev6568 actually, Chopin's piano concertos are way more conservative than this concerto in construction (he actually modeled the first movement of his E minor concerto on the corresponding movement of the 1st Concerto of Kalkbrenner, who prided himself on his self-styled "Classicism".) Chopin's innovations were more in the realm of tonal structure than thematic layout, and his solo/tutti relationships are highly soloistic, far moreso than Hummel's. The only concerto I can think of that is as soloistic as those of Chopin that he could have used as a model is Moscheles' 4th, of 1823.
