HOFMANN, L.: Flute Concertos, Vol. 3 (Grodd, Czech Chamber Philharmonic, Pardubice, F. Dvořák, Halász)

Leopold Hofmann was among the most prominent Viennese composers of his generation, his music performed all over Europe. Hofmann’s 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 instrument’s 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.
