"A musician with brilliant technique and a colorful sound. His expression and phrasing prove a profound musical understanding"
Mariss Jansons, Chief Conductor "His wonderful tone and espressivo qualities allied to his phenomenal technique mark him as a musician of the highest order"
Bryden Thomson, Conductor "If there is a more flawless oboist than Brynjar Hoff, I should like to know his name.
I can think of no other performer who can cap his range of expression and fluency." Music and Musician, London "Brynjar Hoff is in my opinion one of the world's most accomplished and interesting oboe players. His repertoire is extraordinarily wide and include adventurous forays into contemporary music, while his style of playing is both aristocratic and extremely expressive." Richard Baker, OBE, RD - BBC "His tone is rich, yet never "over-ripe", his phrasing is supple and musicianly and his individual use of vibrato exhibits taste as well as imagination." CD Review "Hoff 's oboe-tone owns a nobility that touches the most sensitive fibers of the listener." Carlo Zecchi, Italian pianist, music teacher and conductor Hoff has a gorgeous, rich tone and is able so spin a wonderfully supple line, apparently endlessly. His oboe playing is always a pleasure to listen to.... notably the seductive tone of Hoff's oboe playing and his apparently effortless technique. Robert Hugill, Composer and critic at Musicweb |
From a concert at Hoff’s London debut:
“Hoff revealed himself throughout as, above all, a thoughtful player, arresting attention less by agility, sophistication or brilliance, than by studied musicianship of which his oboe was very much the servant…. Hoff’s ability to seek out shape and structure with cool, evenly blended control of dynamics and timbre, and no trace of mannerism was showed at its best...” Hilary Finch, The Times Music Critic for 35 years |
