“serious, substantial and spectacularly well performed” The Times “Hope and Watkins throw caution to the wind and take all kinds of risks in putting together a new and compelling reading. Hope deploys a smoky, even steely tone in places which...seems supremely right for this music, facilitating an ideally well characterised yet never exaggerated articulation.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2010 “...this boldly expansive performance exposes the dark, painfully beautiful heart of Britten's Concerto in as searing a reading as any I've heard. There's a vulnerable edge to Hope's sound that's perfect for the final pages of the concerto, leaving the listener in a shattered landscape, emotionally drained.” Andrew McGregor, bbc.co.uk, 25th May 2004 | | | Usually despatched in 4 - 5 working days. |

Called “adventurous and brilliant” by the New York Times, Hope was named “the most exciting British string player since Jacqueline du Pré,” by the London Observer. A recent New York Times review summarized him as “a violinist of probing intellect and commanding style,” and continued: “In a business that likes tidy boxes drawn around its commodities, the British violinist Daniel Hope resists categorization. Mr. Hope, a compelling performer whose work involves standard repertory, new music, raga, and jazz, emphasizes thoughtful engagement over flamboyant display. In his most personal undertakings, he puts classical works within a broader context – not just among other styles and genres but amid history, literature, and drama – to emphasize music’s role as a mirror for struggle and aspiration.” | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
