Hope Daniel Botvinov Alexey - Schnittke

Facts In the summer of 1989, when I was 15, my 'love affair' with Alfred Schnittke's music began", recalls Daniel Hope. 3 years later the violinist became acquainted with the composer, studying with & performing for Schnittke many of his works over the next years. "A little more than 20 years after his death, I decided it was time to revisit his music & to pay a recorded tribute to his extraordinary talent. In my mind there is no more striking a talent in contemporary music than that of Schnittke.
