At his best in the second decade of the twentieth century, these were the years in which Hofmann made the majority of his recordings for the Aeolian Company’s Duo-Art Reproducing piano. This release includes many of his popular encore-pieces alongside a performance of Chopin’s First Piano Concerto. A grand harvest of perfect piano writing, this concerto has retained a special place in the heart of concert pianists, though conductors have little to do. In this performance Hofmann includes the orchestral parts on the piano.
