My Tribute To Yehudi Menuhin
Daniel Hope
This year marks the 100th anniversary of violin legend Yehudi Menuhin, and Daniel Hope dedicates a complete album to his former mentor and close friend. After fleeing from the Apartheid regime in South Africa, and ending up in England, Hope’s mother was offered a job as a secretary to Menuhin, and later became his manager. Hope says Menuhin is the reason he became a violinist.
This new album is a beautiful selection of works, mostly commissioned by/for Yehudi Menuhin including Reich’s Duet for 2 Violins and String Orchestra and Henze’s Adagio. The Vivaldi Concerto RV 522 for 2 Violins was the piece Hope and Menuhin played together many times in the past.
