Since 1982 Ian Hobson has amassed a discography of over sixty recordings for such labels as Albany/Troy, Arabesque, Artek, Catalyst, EMI, Hungaroton, Hyperion, and Toccata Classics. Recent releases include the first-ever recording of Bohuslav Martinů's ballet The Shadow with Sinfonia Varsovia, three concerti by David DeBoor Canfield, solo piano music of Edward Loder and Harold Truscott, and collaborations with Sherban Lupu, Csaba Erdelyi, and Paul Sperry.
Hobson is the first artist to record the complete piano works of Frederick Chopin, a monumental undertaking that spans sixteen volumes. Hobson has also recorded the complete piano works of Robert Schumann, the complete piano sonatas of Ludwig van Beethoven and Johann Hummel, the complete piano variations of Johannes Brahms, and the complete solo piano transcriptions of Sergei Rachmaninoff.
In 1998 Hobson founded Zephyr Records with two inaugural releases: El Capitan, John Philip Sousa's most popular operetta, recorded at the University of Illinois where Sousa himself had been a distinguished visitor; and the 32 Piano Sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, recorded between 1992-96 at Rice University. Zephyr's catalogue has since grown to include vocal music by Poulenc and Schubert with Paul Sperry, Stravinsky's L'Histoire du Soldat and Walton's Facade with William Warfield, a three-volume series of chamber music, music by Prince Louis Ferdinand and Schumann on original instruments, new piano music from Scotland, piano transcriptions by Leopold Godowsky, a live performamnce of French masterpieces by the late Michel Block, and the complete piano concerti of Ignaz Moscheles - just a few of the eclectic offerings available.
