A new recording, Toby Hoffman Viola Recital (SHOFUSHA) is now available for download and streaming!
It’s a truly beautiful album in which I collaborated with violist Toby Hoffman. Toby came to the SHOFUSHA studio in Lake Yamanaka last autumn for several weeks of intensive solo and ensemble recordings. This album collects the jewels of the Viola repertoire: Schumann’s Märchenbilder, Milhaud’s sonata, Britten’s Lachrymae, and a brand new piece by Toby’s brother Joel Hoffman. For these recordings, he played a Viola made by his life long friend, violin maker Yu Iida. Toby mentioned to me that he chose the pieces for this album to showcase the character of this magnificent instrument.
I am excited that the album is finally available and I hope it will reach a lot of people! https://linkco.re/fGxeCetc
