Well, it is hard to say anything more about Josef Hofmann then what already was said. VAI have a good collection of 4 CDs with #3 and #4 being the most interesting

BTW, that track from the Rachmaninoff’s Second prelude is taken from the VAI’s CD:

The period before 20s was the most brilliant in Hofmann and I wish someone re-master good quality 78s with those recordings. Japanese EMI (Yoshio Okazaki) did good job re-mastering early Kreisler’s recording. Who knows, perhaps early Hofmann will be next. If they do then those things should be bought in bulk.
