Romantic Violinist, Daniel Hope
Daniel Hope presents us with a new recording after the success of his Baroque Air, a homage to violin master and guru, Joseph Joachim (1831-1907). All of the works featured are connected with him. The playing is superbly gentle, with great use of colour and dynamics. The everlasting favourite, the Bruch Violin Concerto opens the recording, and Brahms, Dvorak, Schubert are featured, as well as two works by Joachim himself.
