Release date: 18.09.2009

From its creation in the mid-16th century by Andrea Amati to the present day, the modern violin has had an extraordinary and tempestuous history. Arguably its greatest development came during the Baroque era, as violinists and composers, in a sense liberated from the austerity and contrapuntal strictures of the Renaissance, went on a journey, both musically...

Daniel Hope: Mendelssohn

Release date: 17.09.2007

Additional performers: Sebastian Knauer. Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Thomas Hengelbrock

I have included my own arrangement for violin and piano of three of Mendelssohn's glorious Lieder on this album, not least because the element of song also permeates the other works on this disc. In the same way that the Violin Concerto and Octet represent two very different stages in Mendelssohn's life and artistic development, "On Wings of Song"...

Daniel Hope: Bach

Release date: 20.10.2006

Additional performers: Marieke Blankestijn, Jaime Martin, Kristian Bezuidenhout, Chamber Orchestra of Europe

Performers of BWV 1042 are faced with the exasperating problem that the piece does not survive in any sources from the composer’s lifetime. Most modern editions are based on a copy of an unknown original made by S. Hering in 1760, ten years after Bach’s death. Thankfully, there is a transcription for harpsichord and strings (BWV 1054 in D major) from...

Daniel Hope: Shostakovich

Release date: 17.03.2006

Additional performers: Maxim Shostakovich

For me, performing twentieth century music is about getting as close to the “source“ as possible. In the case of Shostakovich, it has been my meetings and performances with musicians who knew him, and in particular with his son, Maxim, which have given me invaluable insights into the music and the personality of Shostakovich. The many hair-raising anecdotes,...
