Have you ever heard about Gerard Hoffnung? He sure was an eccentric, cartoonish and amateur tuba player (…) and his sense of musical parody is… well: eccentric. Found this morning at local flea-market the three volumes… well, also if not on sought-after Columbia 33CX… pressings, the music on these waxes is superb and the vinyl on French Harmonia Mundi is premium quality…
A very, very nice find and a live recordings at Royal Albert Hall in London – conducted by Malcolm Arnold, Norman del Mar and other great artists – whose quality is just a cherry on the cake.
