The most interesting feature with Huber in younger years is the fact that his theme work originally seem rather undistinguished. Still when working on the material, he alway find something convincing with them! This goes for the 1st. And Lotolff, Concerto Symphonique no 5 is not far away... The 3rd is a completely other matter. Here he is absolutely personal, also in the choice of themes! Just the beginning is arresting in it´s refinement. A stunning continuation of the symphonic complete series!

Collectors of Huber's music so far will need no further urging from me, but if you've been following such worthy projects as Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series, then you'll definitely want to hear this as well." - ClassicsToday
