"My thoughts and prayers are with all the people and our friends in Ukraine. Odessa, a magical place, and its Odessa Classics Festival have become an integral part of my life. In these days I was due to be in Kyiv with Ukrainian pianist Alexey Botvinov to work with the composer Valentin Silvestrov. Instead, we have decided to record his music in Berlin, together with other Ukrainian composers as a message of musical solidarity. Teldex Studios, Steinway and Kobalt Media provided their services free of charge for this EP. Deutsche Grammophon, Alexey Botvinov and I will donate the proceeds from this digital release to the charity “Aktion Deutschland Hilft”, which is doing essential work to help Ukraine." - Daniel Hope

  • Daniel Hope pays homage to Schnittke in 'Works for Violin and Piano' / WFMT: Featured New Release
    Posted At: February 11, 2021

The experience launched a love affair with the Russian composer's work that has continued to deepen ever since. The violinist's latest album pays homage to this maverick genius, whose elegant explorations of past styles and free-thinking experiments in "polystylism" were both original...
