The recording of "Italian Oboe Concertos" with English Chamber Orchestra was an international breakthrough for Hoff as a recording artist. The CD was highly acclaimed in prestigious publications like Gramophone, CD Review, Fanfare and American Record Guide and the sales were extremely high for a classical recording in Norway. This success had its follow up with another CD with baroque concertos, again with English Chamber Orchestra.
During the last years Brynjar Hoff has released a series of CD's, where older material mixed with several new recordings give a complete view of Brynjar Hoff's work as an oboist. In 1995 he could celebrate his 40th year as a professional musician.
In 1999 Brynjar Hoff received H.M. King Harald's Order of Merit in gold as an acknowledgement for his lifework.
