About

Berlin-based violinist Daniel Hope's latest album takes a deep dive into the rich repertoire of American music, exploring its roots and distinctive qualities. 'We know a piece is from America the moment we hear it,' says Hope. 'But what makes music sound American?'

Daniel Hope: America provides some answers, presenting works by composers as diverse as Leonard Bernstein, Sam Cooke, Aaron Copland, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin, Florence Price, Samuel A. Ward and Kurt Weill in outstanding new classical and jazz arrangements by Paul Bateman for solo violin in different combinations, with vocals, piano, jazz trio, string/chamber orchestra and percussion.

As on his recent recordings Hope and Belle Epoque, Daniel Hope is joined by the Zürcher Kammerorchester, of which he has been Music Director since 2016. In addition, he welcomes an all-star line-up of guest artists, from German soul and R&B singer Joy Denalane, Brazilian pianist Sylvia Thereza and German jazz guitarist Joscho Stephan to acclaimed American jazz pianist and composer Marcus Roberts and his trio, which also includes Rodney Jordan on bass and Jason Marsalis on drums.

“America’s music is as diverse and dynamic as its peoples.” - Daniel Hope

“American music symbolises American life ... the ability to adapt, create and recreate. Jazz and classical music represent two different views of creativity. When you bring them together and learn from each other’s cultural perspective, it gives both art forms even more power and validity.” - Marcus Roberts
