For his latest album Daniel Hope shines a new light on Hollywood scores as he takes a widescreen musical journey, seeking out the echoes of exiled European composers, such as Miklos Rózsa, John Waxman, Hanns Eisler, Erich Wolfgang Korngold. The center piece is the famous Violin concerto by Erich Wolfgang Korngold.
The album also contains contemporary soundtrack classics such as Schindler´s List, American Beauty and Cinema Paradiso to reflect on the strong musical influence the Exile composer had and still has on contemporary film composers. Guest artists featuring on this record are no one less than Sting who performs in a new arrangement on "The Secret Marriage" - a Hanns Eisler composition (originally with lyrics of Bertold Brecht, to which Sting wrote his own lyrics back in 1987) - and German singer phenomenon Max Raabe on the famous "Speak Low" by Kurt Weill. Paul Bateman provided brand new orchestral arrangements.
"the real singing comes from Hope's violin, soaring through an agreeable selection from the works of European composers who found refuge in California. The highlight is Korngold's Violin Concerto, luxuriously rendered with the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic and conductor Alexander Shelley." (The Times)
"Pieces played in new arrangements bask in the luxuriantly romantic world of Korngold, Rósza and their contemporaries." (Financial Times)
