As an artist, Hurum wrote a series of piano pieces, songs, violin and orchestra compositions of indubitable quality, and he was prominent in his day as a radical for Christiania's (i.e. Oslo's) narrow-minded community of critics.

Som kunstner skrev Hurum en rekke klaverstykker, sanger, fiolin- og orkesterverker av utvilsom kvalitet, og han fremsto i sin tid som en radikaler for Kristianias bornerte kritikerkorps.

I think he is incompetent, self-centred, narrow-minded and a disgrace to his party.

Jeg synes han er inkompetent, selvopptatt, bornert og en skam for sitt parti. (Georg Apenes to NRK)
