RIHM, Die Stücke des Sängers
The title "Die Stücke des Sängers" does not refer to musical pieces, but to the remains of the singer Orpheus, torn apart by the Maenads. The harp concerto from 2001, which Wolfgang Rihm expanded slightly in 2008, is also a four-part epitaph for the poet Heiner Müller. [...] Magdalena Hoffmann, the phenomenal solo harpist of the BRSO, captivates with often very robust, almost sculptural sounds, playing with immense passion and yet miles away from the instrument’s usual tropes; for this, she receives thunderous applause.

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."
