About the Event

A leading light of the international violin scene arrives at the Petit Palau, presenting a recital that traces Romantic and post‐Romantic expression.

Daniel Hope and pianist Marie Sophie Hauzel begin with Dvořák’s Sonatina in G major, alive with lyricism, freshness and folk‐inspired melodies. Alexey Shor’s Sonata No. 1 in D minor follows, leading into a contemporary language grounded in melody.

After the interval, César Franck’s Sonata in A major takes centre stage, a masterpiece of the violin and piano repertoire. Passionate, intimate and extraordinarily intense, it stands among chamber music’s great declarations of love.

An exceptional chance to hear Daniel Hope up close, in the intimate setting and outstanding acoustics of the Petit Palau.

Artists

Violin, Violoncello da Spalla: Daniel Hope

Five times the winner of the ECHO Klassik Prize, British violinist Daniel Hope has performed as soloist with some of the world's most distinguished orchestras and conductors. He is the winner of the Classical Brit Award, and has been nominated four times for a Grammy award.

A recent New York Times review summarized Daniel Hope as “a violinist of probing intellect and commanding style,” and continued: “In a business that likes tidy boxes drawn around its commodities, the British violinist Daniel Hope resists categorization. Mr. Hope, a compelling performer whose work involves standard repertory, new music, raga, and jazz, emphasizes thoughtful engagement over flamboyant display. In his most personal undertakings, he puts classical works within a broader context – not just among other styles and genres but amid history, literature, and drama – to emphasize music’s role as a mirror for struggle and aspiration.” Daniel Hope performs on the 1742 “ex‐Lipin´ski” Guarneri del Gesù violin.

Piano: Marie Sophie Hauzel
