Title: Hamelin, Hough, Hayroudinov...How about it?
Product review: Not meaning to plagiarize Mark Twain, but... This music is better than it sounds. These are hopelessly pedestrian readings of a rather pedestrian composer who nonetheless knew his craft and is worth investigating, especially if you're interested in the nineteenth-century Germanic phase of the development of classical music in America. Needed is a pianist of imagination and the technique to back it up; one of the above gentlemen, or any of a large number of others, would do nicely. This recording is going cheap enough, as it ought to, so by all means satisfy your curiosity, then hope for something better.
