Hoffnung (the Hirschfeld of his time and nation) – Wofa
A truly funny and gifted man. His concerto for three vacuum cleaners and a floor polisher and the manner in which he read the ‘Barrel of Bricks’ piece at the Oxford Union in 1958 are great examples of the comic genius he brought to music and the spoken word. He was also a talented cartoonist.
If you would like to know more, at least of his musical work, try this url:
