Whereas Hofmann's concerto is an original work, the other concerto is an arrangement of Mozart's Oboe Concerto K314 by the Hungarian-American conductor Georg Szell. As Mozart left us not a single composition for solo cello, Szell collaborated with Mozart researcher Alfred Einstein to create a solo piece.
Szell took the Andante from the Violin Concerto K470 for the slow movement. Sol Gabetta's recording, on the other hand, includes a version of the Oboe Concerto's Andante specially prepared by the harpsichordist and pianist of the Basel Chamber Orchestra, Sergio Ciomei.
Hofmann was a highly regarded composer in his day, considered the equal of Haydn and Gluck. His Cello Concerto in D Major is roughly contemporary with the C major Concerto by Haydn which also appears on this disc.
