Query: DISAPPOINTING PROGRAMMING

I was surprised that Thomas Hampson chose to sing so few of Stephen Foster's most famous songs on this recording. Of those he sings, some are performed in a character that I do not believe is in keeping with the period. While the chosen instrumentation is one possible interpretation of the sound of the period, it lacks variety and fails to convey the importance of the rather formal parlor song as Foster's forte.
