Josef Hofmann plays Chopin piano concerto no.2

[@789armstrong]

This recording is Jorge Bolet's number one desert island must have. Hoffmans 2nd movement has no competition whatsoever.

[@TheIndependentPianist]

Luckily there is no need for competition! If you haven't heard it Cortot's recording is equally extraordinary in a very different style.

Hello @TheIndependentPianist Thanks for making your excellent video on Josef Hofmann !

The best Chopin concerto no 2 players are Really=Artur Rubinstein(Golden tone!) Vladimir Ashkenazy( themost volcano colorful piano sound for Chopin no 2!) Grigory Sokolov had the best piano sound! Sokolov has unbeatable rhythmic vitalness! Sokolov the most Titanic!!

@@TheIndependentPianist You are right! No one played Chopin's Concerto No. 2 better than Cortot, including Rubinstein. This record was recorded in London in 1935 on a Steinway!

Da die Restaurationen immer besser wurden, sollte auch ihre *Wiedergabe* weiter "gepflegt" werden. Und siehe da! - es ist noch eine Verbesserung möglich. Meine *EMPFEHLUNG* der EQUALIZER *- Anpassung* *'Caruso'* Einstellung (classical modified) -11,8 dB (60Hz) -13,4 dB (230Hz) -14,8 dB (910Hz) -15,0 dB (4kHz) +15,0 dB (14kHz) Der Eintrag wurde ergänzt, weil es sehr unterschiedliche EQ gibt. Profis wissen das. Er bezieht sich hier allgemein auf eine 'Bass Booster App' 🎧 ohne Zuschalten des BASS BOOST. Die meisten gehen ja heute mit *Bluetooth* an ihrem Endgerät/Handy richtig um (der BBoost selbst ist vorsichtig zu verwenden, falls man ihn nutzt). Compatibility Mode und Sound Field *FLAT* der Anlage.

Is it my imagination, or does he play a different note in the bass line at 5:12. It's not a mistake because he repeats it again.

[@rich8037]

You're quite right, and it's not in any score I can find. Probably just a memory slip.

[@bortkievitch]

Yes, it is not the written note, although it does not sound bad. Sometimes the pianists of that time allowed themselves certain licenses. I think they were not memory lapses. By the way, then they performed with greater musicality and emotion than pianists do today.
