Daniel Hope

Daniel Hope
The Soul of the Violin, from Dvořák to Franck
Details
One of the leading international figures of the violin comes to the Petit Palau with a recital exploring different facets of Romantic and post-Romantic expression.
Daniel Hope and pianist Marie Sophie Hauzel open the programme with Dvořák’s Sonatina in G major, a work full of lyricism, freshness and melodies inspired by folk music. This is followed by Alexey Shor’s Sonata No. 1 in D minor, which takes us into a contemporary musical language with deeply melodic roots. After the interval comes one of the great works of the violin and piano repertoire: César Franck’s Sonata in A major. Passionate, intimate and extraordinarily intense, it is one of chamber music’s great declarations of love.
An exceptional opportunity to experience Daniel Hope up close, in the intimate setting and privileged acoustics of the Petit Palau.
