Ferdinand Hiller

[tpaloj]

Thank you friends! One reason I enjoy transcribing Hiller's music is because of the ease of means in his orchestration. Just so many or just so few instruments are employed as the music calls for (often enough). Perhaps sometimes less inspired than many of his peers were, he was still an outstanding musician with a large amount of good music still waiting to be given new chances.

Incidentally, Tuomas, do you have any more news on the possible recording of Hiller's VC?

No unfortunately not. I hope it's proceeding, but I haven't heard or asked of it lately.
