Josef (Józef Kazimierz) Hofmann, 1876-1957. One of the greatest pianists of all time, startling audiences when he was six years old. Apart from having taken lessons with Eugen d'Albert, he is the best disciple of Anton Rubinstein, and although he is considered one of the first "modernists" in piano playing, his style must have been influenced by that Master. Some of his studio recordings can sound a little remote; there is much more spontaneity in his amazing live-recordings, e.g. Chopin's Ballades or the First Piano Concerto. "His style combined an aristocratical musical line, a perpetually singing tone, and a range of dynamics from the most etheral pianissimo to tigerish surges in which the piano erupted." (Harold Schonberg) Audio and video.
