Berlin, 4 March 2021. Deutsche Grammophon signs an exclusive agreement with Magdalena Hoffmann.
“We are delighted that Magdalena is continuing the great harp tradition on the Yellow Label, represented by, for example, Nicanor Zabaleta during the last century,” says Dr Clemens Trautmann, President Deutsche Grammophon. “I am certain she will take a highly personal, contemporary approach, creating exciting new recordings and broadening the repertoire of one the most ancient and demanding musical instruments. Magdalena knows how to make the most of its entire tonal spectrum in her own original, thoroughly unconventional way.” |

DUO
with Karl-Heinz SCHÜTZ "A duo of strong character" "[...] And what the two likeable virtuosos got out of their instruments was more than impressive. [...] Magdalena Hoffmann is so completely free from pretense; she requires no great gestures, but only a never failing concentration in order to convey in her playing exactly that which the harp signifies in the music world. Similar to the piano, the harp can replace a small orchestra, but can also weave a whole tapestry of sound, on top of which the radiant flute can unfold." Schwäbische Zeitung, 30.01.2018 |
MOZART CONCERTO
with Andrea LIEBERKNECHT "[...] With Andrea Lieberknecht on flute and Magdalena Hoffmann on harp an ingenious and virtuosic duo got together this evening. Especially in the 2nd movement "Andantino" it became audible and visible, with which sensitivity the two soloists were able to express the composition's intention; they almost melted with the wonderful melodies."
