Description:

Leopold Hoffmann was one of the most well-known musicians in Vienna in the late 18th century. He was music director of St. Stephen's Cathedral from 1772, and it was at Hoffmann's request that Mozart was appointed deputy music director of this cathedral. The thirteen remaining flute concertos in the NAXOS series are so graceful and complete that they are sometimes mistakenly attributed to Haydn. The 13 remaining flute concertos in the MAXOS series are decorated with graceful melodies that make the most of the instrument's unique characteristics. In the first (8.554747) and second (8.554748) concertos, Japanese flutist Kazunori Seo was the soloist, but in this third concerto, German flutist Uwe Grodt takes the soloist's chair. Naxos Japan
