The Columbia record Golden Jubilee Concert offers dubbings of imperfect but listenable recordings of a number of Josef Hofmann's performances at the concert in November 1937, at which he celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his American debut, and provides the only available documentation on records of this famous pianist's playing. The Columbia record has a couple of trashy pieces by Moszkowski and Rachmaninov that Hofmann used to play. These are the performances which, year after year, thousands came to hear--among them the many students, teachers and pianists with the professional's interest in the mere doing of things on the piano and with the music.
