Info for Dance!

Daniel Hope's new album "Dance!" reflects his boundless interest in the most diverse styles and eras of music. The star violinist takes us through seven centuries of music history and explores the rhythms that move the body and open the heart.

Everyone knows and can hum along to the melodies of well-known classical pieces such as Shostakovich's Waltz No. 2 or the famous Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev's ballet Romeo and Juliet. In addition to the well-known hits by Shostakovich, Brahms, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Handel, Bartók or Ellington, there are many other styles and pieces to discover on this double album, such as the Lamento di Tristano from the 14th century or Nicola Conforto's Fandango from the 18th century.

From music that once entertained monarchs, resounded in concert halls or began in fields, streets and pubs to ritual sounds - Hope is interested in the universal significance of dance and rhythm and the diversity that it expresses: "The beauty of dance is that no matter who you are or where you come from, when you come together in a room, you are all likely to feel the rhythm and start moving at the same moment. It's not just in today's world that we should be aware of this on a regular basis," says Hope.

Hope recorded the music with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra and many other musician friends. The pieces can be heard in new arrangements and instrumentations adapted to the genre.
