Wow, the singing, the freedom and the sense of structure and balance. What a revelation...it's sad nobody can play like that and be understood in this time

[@rrrrrr-kb9sb]

Hofmann was peerless

Был есть будет Гофман

[@MegaLajeunesse]

Une technique, maîtrise fabuleuse au service d'une expression torride de la polyphonie. Un pianiste qui ose tout. Du pur génie

Just about 100 years since the recording, and still just as wonderful

[@ReturnOfTheStienway]

I love his playing here. You can still hear how sensitive his playing is in this recording. Almost 100 years old now??? That's so hard to believe...

[@bvbwv3]

Geezus!

[@ЕвгенийЛаук-х5ю]

Потрясающе!

[@paulostroff99]

Awesome!TY gullivior for posting.

[@ivankuligovskii5046]

As we can see, Hofmann made some changes to Liszt's transcription, and, I think, it became more close to Schubert

[@AA-le9ls]

Exactly what changes did he make?

[@supertortoise3000]

They laugh because it is considered ridiculous. Schubert and Goethe ridiculous?? Goethe was a universal man, a great soul who defended peace and fraternity. A great man. Not ridiculous.

[@jamesmiller4184]

Amen.

[@therealtruetwelfth798]

I like to close my eyes and pretend this is a lost recording of Liszt himself playing…

[@supertortoise3000]

I have learn it at school. Everybody was laughing :-S People are pigs today. It is not funny.

[@NoahJohnson1810]

piano out of tune? different key?

[@AA-le9ls]

Probably the disc with the recording should be rotated at a different speed. Is the pitch too low or too high?
