13"A memorable performance of Cesar Franck's sonata was given on Friday, June 25, by Mme. Lea Luboshutz and Mr. Josef Hofmann. Never have so many hitherto undiscovered points in the music been brought to light all at once. Each movement was elaborately got up and presented with consummate ability."
14—London Morning Post.
16"The recital of violin sonatas given by Madame Lea Luboshutz and Mr. Josef Hofmann was a rare and delightful experience. Mme. Luboshutz proved altogether an able partner to Mr. Hofmann. Her rhythm and intonation were always sure and her phrasing supple."
17—London Times.
19"Mr. Hofmann's capable colleague, Mme. Lea Luboshutz, plays with a big tone and phrases decisively."
20—Ernest Newman (Sunday Times).
22"It was a privilege to hear Franck's Sonata given by two such artists as Mme. Lea Luboshutz and Mr. Josef Hofmann. The violinist was impetuous and lyrical."
23—London Daily Mail.
25LONDON, ENGLAND, OCTOBER 10, 1926
26"These two players are extraordinarily well matched. They adopt towards the music the same detached and impersonal point of view. They are both impeccable in their playing and the balance between the two instruments is always nicely adjusted. The perfection of their ensemble made the performance of the sonatas a pure musical pleasure."
27—London Times.
29"These two musicians provided a masterly exhibition of the finest style of ensemble playing. It was an example of real chamber-music performance, bringing out the essentially intimate qualities of the Sonatas that always are liable to be lost when the works are transported to a large hall. . . . Only the finest players can thus leave music to itself and yet give such an interpretation as these artists did."
30—London Observer.
32"Mme. Lea Luboshutz and Mr. Josef Hofmann were very pleasurable to listen to at their violin and pianoforte recital. Mme. Luboshutz is a violinist with pure musical tone and a finished and dignified style and Mr. Hofmann at the pianoforte proved a most sympathetic associate. The performances of Beethoven's Sonata in F, Op. 24, and Brahms's in G were beautifully balanced in sentiment and tone."—"Lancelot" in The Referee. one of two readings

36"In all that appertains to a perfectly adjusted ensemble, unity of style and technical finish their interpretations of the two sonatas was irreproachable."
