Josef Hofmann plays Chopin Nocturne in B Op. 9 No. 3

[@1962ogni]

toll, vielen Dank für das Hochladen!

[@kevinorourke9681]

It's hard, and more so extraordinary rare enough to be a super virtuoso, this poly-math Joseph Casimir Hoffman was one of less than one in a trillion or more. His playing is off the Richter scale (Richer himself ,half jealous heartedly, said so)

[@ianboard3555]

I don't think I've ever heard passages as clear and crisp as his.

[@ianboard544]

He has such a unique sound - it's almost as if he were playing a different instrument.

[@southwestpiano]

the middle 'agitato' section is wonderful. all so unique - nobody stands out like this anymore (sigh)

DIVINE HOFMANN ❤

[@pianopera]

You're welcome. If only we could have witnessed this incredible recital...

[@camaysar222]

Happy 140th, Josef!

[@uriakramer]

Amazing.

Beautiful ! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2018 !

You're both mistaken. This is from heaven.

в детстве я преимущественно увлекался скрипичной музыкой и моя любовь к фортепьяно началась именно с записи этого концерта Гофмана. Тогда вышла пластинка Гофмана.

This is my top pick of all performances of this nocturne in my "best of" playlist of the complete Chopin nocturnes ... kzbin.info/aero/PL_FxhjClAeZeYhkVsSHouZ5JC9pyp6Z4_

А он покупал рояль маме моей бабушки!))

I think this is from the Casimir Hall recital, 1938...

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

La NOTTE ha ritmi più lenti e più allargati. La NOTTE riavvicina quello che nel GIORNO si allontana. HOFMANN non la pensa cosi. In ogni caso questo è un pianista prodigioso

[@gullivior]

Ha ragione, ma con Hofmann bisogna rinunciare alle facili associazioni psicologiche (vedasi la Berceuse...)

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

@@gullivior confermando la progigiosita' di questo pianista considero che FC abbia composto diamanti ...notturni. un caro saluto

[@pianopera]

It's from Marston's The Complete Hofmann series, volume 6, isn't it? Please watch the booklet with the tracklist...

I love it. But some bits sounded comically fast.
