  • He seems to improvise on the spot.... Oh the spontaneity.... Oh what artistic inspiration!

  • Sounds so magical! As if I am transported to a concert hall in the 1910s or 1920s... Or some salon that Chopin had been to...

  • @truecrypt Easily the most most apocalyptic rendition of Kreisleriana. Hofmann is not the most academic friendly pianist.

  • @truecrypt Yes, Hofmann did a lot of strange things!

  • Horowitz,Hofmann and Neuhaus all played Kreisleiriana wonderfully,what a pity that Richter didn't play it ^^

  • surreal - and only j.h. could have pulled it off. i don't "like" it - but it's fascinating!

  • @uriakramer lolled

  • What is this?!? This is music, not competition. Comparing them in this fashion is like comparing two persons' feelings over a certain subject which is just unthinkable...

  • Dear Joyce,Hofmann is my favorite Kreisleriana and I'm amused but not surprised that in your own way you stumbled upon that.I made the first round sudden elimination and Hofmann had the misfortune of going against Sofronitsky who is no small potatoes in this piece.
