Magdalena Hoffmann – Chopin: Valse in E Minor, op. posth. BI 56

Conventions have never prevented German harpist Magdalena Hoffmann from following her creative instincts. She inspires audiences of all ages as recitalist, chamber musician, orchestral player, educator and animateur, her virtuosity on the modern concert harp supported by her understanding of the instrument’s long history. Whether performing as principal harp of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, exploring a rich recital repertoire, devising projects involving theatre and the visual arts, or creating absurd sketches, she is above all a supremely gifted communicator. “The harp has always been the poet’s and the storyteller’s instrument,” she notes. “It’s a wonderful vessel for adventures of the imagination.”

Her album includes Chopin’s Valse in E Minor, op. posth. BI 56. As a young pianist, Chopin had been
admired for his delicate Fieldian touch. He composed by improvising at the keyboard,
casting a spell over his listeners with his virtuoso scales and highly expressive harmonies.
And yet it is clear from remarks by George Sand, his companion of many years, that the
elegance with which he performed them was in marked contrast to the effort that went
into slowly and laboriously committing them to paper.

Enjoy Magdalena Hoffmann's performance of Chopin’s Valse in E Minor, op. posth. BI 56.
