"Jozef Kazimierz Hofmann (born January 20, 1876 in Krakow, Austria-Hungary; died February 16, 1957 in Los Angeles), was a Polish-American virtuoso pianist and composer. Many connoisseurs consider him one of the greatest pianists of all time." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josef_Hofmann

"Hofmann was the greatest pianist who ever lived. Of this, there can be no doubt." (http://jeff.ostrowski.cc/productions/sketches.htm

The Complete Josef Hofmann contain eight volumes (a planned ninth has not been released yet). The following is from the notes:

"....this series of Hofmann recordings....is more than a routine exercise in nostalgia. It is actually a public service. It brings alive again the playing of one of the most colossal pianists in history: a pianist with a tremendous and original personality, a pianist of the grand manner, a pianist who contributed a romantic approach with a good measure of classicism, a pianist whose technical finesse remains the ne plus ultra of the art, a pianist who will serve for all time as the exemplar of musical elegance coupled to fire and brilliance." Harold Schoenberg
