Anyone familiar with the Hummel Concertos?

Are any of them worth taking a serious look at?

IMO, yes.  In fact, IMO, I think they are more musically interesting than most of Beethoven's concerti.  The orchestral expositions of Op.85 in A minor and Op.89 in B minor are far more musically interesting than any of Beethoven's (in fact, I think it could even be an exposition of a symphony sans piano - it's that good), the structure seems more tightly knit, and it sounds more powerful.

The best recording I have heard were performed by Stephen Hough.

I should get the Hough...I was looking into playing one of the concertos.  I have a recording of the a minor, but I didn't like the performance (although I liked the piece, especially the rondo).  Any other of the concertos worth listening to/playing?
