    Christian Arming, conductor

  • FOCUS

    This is demonstrated once again by the performance of Gary Hoffman with the Liège Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under its Music Director Christian Arming. Here is an interpretation outstanding for its musicality and warmth.

    In Bloch’s Schelomo, Gary Hoffman and Christian Arming detail the score with an almost improvisatory flexibility and sensuality: a great success! This is an ideal opportunity to (re)discover the music of Ernest Bloch, who affirmed his Hebrew roots in his music throughout his life.

  • FOCUS

    To repair the injustice of Mendelssohn’s current reputation with musicians as a “minor” composer, Gary Hoffman and David Selig have recorded his complete works for cello and piano. In order to do justice to Mendelssohn, the perfectly constructed balance of the pieces and the interplay between the two instruments, it was necessary to unite two close friends, working together in perfect harmony.
