Hofmann | Flute Concertos Vol. 1


The orchestral playing is spry and, going by auditory appearances, wakeful. You will not encounter much if anything in the way of competition. I cannot pretend that this music is anything other than what my Belgian landlady of years gone by used to call 'zim-zim music' (minus harpsichord continuo) but it is smooth, handsome and unfacile.

If Mozartian legato given a conservatively romantic skew is your thing then this will be money well spent. Hofmann prepares the way for Weber and Schubert. --musicweb-international
