- Staggering Performances!
These two CDs are real treasures for piano recording lovers! After somewhat business-like performance of Brahms' "Academic Overture", conducted by Fritz Reiner, the magic begins. Hofmann's recording of Rubinstein No.4 is beyond description. He makes this somewhat old-fashioned showpiece into a concerto comparable to Rachmaninoff concertos. The way he thunders his entrance of the first movement will make one jump up from his seat. At the same time, more lyrical sections are played with utmost delicacy and elegance. The middle movement is played with winsome simplicity. The last movement has almost terrifying power and intensity. The orchestra seems to have been inspired by Hofmann. The voltage of performance picks up considerably. The shorter works are played with plenty of personality and dashing elegance. Chopin's first ballade is demonic, with curiously cool lyrical sections. Polonaise is dazzlingly colorful. His own "Chromaticon" is an interesting piece. It sounds like a bit like Prokofiev and Rachmaninoff mixed together. Perhaps the most incredible short piece in the CD is Mozskowski's "Caprice Espagnole." This piece shows Hofmann at his very best. His repeated notes are simply astonishing. The piece displays Hofmann's imcomparable elegance, fire and tremendous control. The ending is hair-raising. The sound overall is quite listenable for its age. But it is the quality of performance that really counts here. Never mind the sound, just listen!
