Daniel Hope / Zürcher Kammerorchester
Elbphilharmonie, Großer Saal (Hamburg)
What Daniel Hope begins becomes a success: from his beginnings as a highly talented pupil of Yehudi Menuhin to his time as primarius of the Beaux Arts Trio and his current, multi-faceted activities as author, presenter, soloist, festival and ensemble director. The charming violinist and emcee is an all too welcome guest on the Elbphilharmonie stage. In his wonderfully compiled programme »America«, Daniel Hope proves to be a knowledgeable travel guide through the land of unlimited musical possibilities – stops at Gershwin, Bernstein and Ellington as well as flying visits to Aaron Copland and Florence Price determine the route.
