Below is a summary of issued GERARD HOFFNUNG material.

I'd appreciate receiving data for any MISSING releases, release DATES, corrections.

Particularly:
Are the Harmonia Mundi LPs correctly listed?
need Australia/New Zealand, European and Asian releases,
information about the PROSCENIUM VHS tape - (e.g. when was it recorded, where was this performance, who participated, what are the circumstances of its beinng recorded).
Does anyone have the tape, or know if it is currently available?

Thanks!
Best wishes, Thomas.

I am looking for a VHS (or DVD remaster) recording of Hoffnung's 1956 Music Festival. In particular, I'd like to find the performance of Haydn's Surprise Symphony - I've heard the LP, but obviously some pretty funny stuff is going on.

Thanks,
LBC

I know that somewhere there exists a video recording of the Dolmetsch Ensemble doing Tchaikovskys "1812 Overture" on Recorders and Pop Guns from the stage of the Royal Festival Hall cos I saw it on TV years ago,
