About
Leopold Hofmann was among the most prominent Viennese composers of his generation, his music performed all over Europe. Hofmanns radiant flute concertos follow the conventions of the day with superlative elegance and a deceptive facility. The solo writing has a lightness, grace and agility perfectly suited to the instruments strengths, particularly in the lovely and often rhapsodic slow movements. It is hardly surprising that musicians and audiences found these concertos so beguiling, and they have lost none of their magic today.

March/April 2020
The Czech Chamber Orchestra performs admirably under the direction of Michael Halász...The ensemble...is first-rate, and the players know when to retreat in the face of the flute solo lines, yet retain a solid rhythmic foundation. Soloist Uwe Grodd performs his sometimes challenging passages with ease and grace, and in those passages which require a certain expansive lyricism he lets the instrument float.
