Order on iTunes: http://smarturl.it/HopeParadise_iTu Order the CD: http://smarturl.it/HopeParadise_CD With this album, Daniel Hope takes a widescreen musical journey, seeking out the echoes of exiled European composers, such as John Waxman or Hanns Eisler, with the famous Violin concerto by Erich Wolfgang Korngold as the center piece. It also contains contemporary soundtrack classics such as Schindler´s List, American Beauty and Cinema Paradiso to reflect on the strong musical influence the Exile composers had and still have on contemporary film composers. Guest artists are no one less than Sting and German singer phenomenon Max Raabe. “Escape to Paradise” is both a historical and musical concept, curated by Daniel Hope, to a theme that he has personal associations for: his maternal grandparents fled Hitler’s Germany for South Africa, and his parents then fled the apartheid regime for England Learn more: http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/de/artist/hope/ http://www.deutschegrammophon.com/cat/4792954 Find Deutsche Grammophon on Facebook and Twitter: http://www.facebook.com/deutschegrammophon http://www.twitter.com/dgclassics
