Daniel spent much of his childhood in Menuhin's house (his mother was Menuhin's secretary, later his manager of 25 years), but it was only when he reached his teens that the great violinist recognised the boy's talent and invited Hope to perform together with him. Hope's most recent stimulus came from his collaboration with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe, with whom he has worked for several years, and with whom he recorded the Urtext version of Mendelssohn's Violin Concerto in his debut release for Deutsche Grammophon. Ever since childhood Hope has marvelled at Vivaldi's compositional virtuosity in his concertos. Price: $15.98 |
