The Complete Josef Hofmann Vol. 8: Concerto and Solo Performances, 1938-1947
Josef Hofmann combined unparalleled virtuosity with emotion, understanding, and spontaneity to create some of the finest piano playing ever recorded. This set contains Hofmann's first extant broadcast of Beethoven's 4th conducted by Eugene Ormandy, and Anton Rubinstein's 3rd and 4th Concerti with Artur Rodzinski and Karl Krueger conducting. This two-CD is the penultimate release of the complete Josef Hofmann. Volume 9 will contain 3 cylinder recordings from 1896, alternative takes of two Brunswick sides, the soundtrack from a Bell Telephone Hour film, and “west coast” versions of Bell Telephone Hour performances.
