Conceived and created during one of the most difficult years ever for the music and culture industry (2020), the star violinist sends us a spiritual, but above all intimate and positive sign. A very personal selection of works that open the mind and the heart trail around the centerpiece “Misa Criolla” (here in a new arrangement for violin and orchestra). The repertoire contains many well-known works such as Elgar’s Nimrod, Albinoni’s & Giazotto’s Adagio in G minor and “Amazing Grace’. Daniel Hope teamed up with singers such as baritone Thomas Hampson and jazz-singer Colin Rich as well as his orchestra Zürcher Kammerorchester.
In this album called “Hope”, created during lockdown, violinist Daniel Hope presents a highly personal, yet distinctive collection of timeless classics by Schubert, Elgar and Pärt, several beloved traditional songs in stunning new instrumental versions and a brand-new arrangement of the inspiring and spiritual Misa Criolla by Ariel Ramírez. “Music has a tremendous power,” says Daniel Hope. “This album is my attempt to send out a ray of hope and to provide people, myself included, with a sense of support and perhaps even consolation.” Well-known favourites from Hope’s childhood such as Amazing Grace and Danny Boy are as integral to this album as Schubert’s Die Nacht and “Nimrod” from Elgar’s Enigma Variations. Several different periods are illuminated in this way, and the same is true of the most disparate styles and musical contexts. Daniel Hope is joined by the Zürcher Kammerorchester as well as prestigious singers like the vocal ensemble Amarcord, baritone Thomas Hampson and jazz-singer Colin Rich.
