Spheres
Daniel Hope
Award-winning violinist Daniel Hope presents an eclectic and accessible mix of neo-Baroque, minimalist and soundtrack favourites, including works and arrangements by contemporary masters like Ludovico Einaudi, Arvo Pärt, Karl Jenkins, Max Richter, Gabriel Prokofiev, Alex Baranowski and many more
“Spheres” features a curated collection of repertoire celebrating the idea, first brought forward by Pythagoras, that planetary movement creates its own kind of music, bringing beauty, harmony and simplicity to our complex solar system. This idea has fascinated philosophers, musicians, and mathematicians for centuries.
Featured as main soloist on Max Richter’s acclaimed “Vivaldi Recomposed”, Hope is known for an effortless classical sound and intriguing approach to repertoire
Daniel is collaborating in 2013 with Einaudi, and joint dates are in the planning stage.
Review
Kate Rockstrom
I have to confess I got very excited when I saw the selection of composers on this new album of Daniel Hope’s. I mean, how do you create a line of musical ideas from Einaudi, Faure, Prokofiev, Jenkins and beyond? With the greatest of ease it seems. If you’re familiar with any of these composers, you know generally what their style of composition is, but what is particularly sumptuous about these arrangements is Hope’s mouth watering sound weaving magic in and out of each work. There is a very good reason he is insanely famous as a musician. I am completely hooked on this album and will have it on repeat as I travel to and from work each day.
