The violinist Daniel Hope, who lives in Berlin, dedicates himself to the comprehensive repertoire of American music on his latest album “America”. From jazz and classical to Bordway songs and American folk music. The album will be released on February 4th, 2022. The vinyl release will follow on March 5th, 2022.
With “Americana” Hobe embarks on a search for traces of the origins of American music. “We recognize that a piece comes from America as soon as we hear it,” says the violinist. “But what is it that makes music sound American?”
In search of an answer to this question, Hope plays works by composers as diverse as Leonard Bernstein, Sam Cooke, Aaron Copland, and Duke Ellington. The recordings were made together with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra in combination with vocals, piano, jazz trio, string and chamber orchestra and drums. Several guests can also be heard on the album, including German soul and R&B singer Joy Denalane, Brazilian pianist Sylvia Thereza and German jazz guitarist Joscho Stephan.
