I don’t mind Hough as much as some others, but for some reason he seems to gravitate towards repertoire that’s inappropriate for his style, in a way that’s very hard to describe without either simplifying it to overused platitudes, or going to excess length and metaphorical opinion. At least that’s been my feeling about him for quite a while, now. And that programme is a great example of that. I’d be interested in hearing the Beethoven, but that’s about it. The Scriabin five MAYBE for the CG, though.
