Incredible. I have never heard Hofmann play this piece before, but as always he well exceeds expectation!

(Hofmann always meets my expectations - i.e., any given performance of his ranking as one of the most exhilarating put to record. :D

A wonderful performance by probably the greatest pianist I have ever heard. And, apparently I have the honor of being the first viewer (listener).
Thanks much,Theoshow2.

@hoytthorpe9 Thanks. I didn't know that. In the earlier recordings H really didn't F$%# around. Tight and pure.

@aardvaark069 @llwayneio He didn't have Steinway make one - Steinway offered him a piano with narrower keys for him, and he was said to have replied something to the effect: "what makes you think I play with my fingers?"
-
Fascinating! He interprets almost identical to Rachmaninoff but Rach added his cadenza and played with much more expression. I prefer the HR2 interpretations by Rach, Moiseiwitsch and Jung Lin :-))

AHAHHAHAH SEBTITE QUALLA DI ZIFFRA IN LIVE 1969 NON C'E' CONFRONTO

@kuckorama ARE YOU JOKING! Jung Lin's HR2 is full of fire, passion, emotion, musicality, not just supreme technique. Hofmann was a tech genius but where is the emotion or musicality in this?
-
@tchykovsky Rosina Lhevinne did. She and a pupil were sitting in the audience at a Hofmann recital, and the pupil asked her about one piece, :"Why is he playing so fast?" Mme. Lhevinne responded, "Because he can't play it any faster."

God forbid, this piece on Youtube has been the most over trolled piece of all time. I won't name names, but if they start trolling here then I've lost faith in humanity. Nobody, I repeat, nobody messes with J. Hofmann.
-
@JimiHendrixANDVADER Come on, why is it that so many people have a problem with someone playing in a fashion that's unlike everthing that's been done to death for about a hundred years? I certainly wouldn't play it like Lang Lang, but I find it entertaining and refreshing that he isn't a boring competition machine like so many performers. Jung Lin is a fine example of ample technique, boring result. Hoffman's La campanella is one of the most amazing things ever.

forget about bugs bunny that over rated carrot addict rabbit. I think Jerry and Tom executed the Hungarian in a breath taking performance. I think liszt would be proud of their performance.
