Hofmann | Flute Concertos Vol. 2
Hoffman, a Viennese contemporary of Haydn, wrote around sixty concertos between 1758 and 1778, thirteen of them for flute. Until very recently only one, the Flute Concerto in D, Badley D1, was available on record but, despite Hofman's authorship having been authenticated in 1933, it continued to be advertised as being by Haydn (doubtless considered a more saleable composer). The flute was a favoured instrument in the mid-to-late baroque, and lends itself well to the shapely, elegant music of the classical period.
