Recently scored his "Trumpet Acrobatics" recording. I got it because of a post someone made of the Willy Brandt Concert Etude which floored me. The entire recording is terrific. _________________ "I'm an engineer, which means I think I know a whole bunch of stuff I really don't."

The Brandt Concertpiece is what introduced me to Hoefs. He's truly one-of-a-kind in tone, flexibility, style.... but, like me, he wasn't able to get that dang F# in tune in the tripling tonguing section! (makes me realize the instrument has some limitations even when played by the world class) _________________ Trumpet is for extroverts only... no, wait... Trumpet is also for introverts who need an avenue for extrovertism!

Really wonderful playing. He makes it look so easy, and his approach is wonderfully lyrical. Beautiful tone, expressive and moving. I hope this recording will be available here.
There is some absolutely marvelous stuff of his on the Internet. One of my favorites is the German Brass doing BWV 972 after Vivaldi Violin Concerto. _________________ Bb: Schilke X3L AS SP, Yamaha YTR-6335S

Highly recommend looking into the YouTube channel Brass Gin, as they have posted a few videos recently of Matthias Hofs with his son and wife, playing duets!!
