Thank you for this.
Hofmann is recognised as one of the top pianists of the recorded era, some consider greater than Horowitz and Rachmaninoff. He was also a remarkable inventor, holding many patents on both the mechanical and electrical sides, if I remember correctly.
He was later in his career ...

commented:
Hamelin is a wonderful pianist. He is not in the same tradition of my favourite of over 50 years, which is Horowitz, but for me he outshines anyone I know who is still with us. He reminds me more of Lhevinne, whose amazing performance of Campanella is available on YouTube. That's a piano roll, re...

He actually started his adult singing life as a first bass!
He was proud to be able to assert late in his career as a heldentenor that he could still sing a good bass low D, a note so low that it is called for only once in all opera, in Don Giovanni.@TAUBERFANLEHAR2

Hello. It isn't actually an acoustic recording. The original piano roll was made in 1922.
