The subject matter of this collection of classic music from (mostly) Hollywood seems a major departure from violinist Daniel Hope’s previous focus on music contending with the Nazi cultural orbit, but actually it’s a logical step: a great deal of Hollywood film music was composed by refugees from Germany, and the stylistic world they created continues to resonate today. There are several good recordings of this repertory by young violinists, but Hope’s stands out. Partly it’s because Hope’s big, richly sentimental sound fits this repertory well. Partly it’s because he varies the program effectively with the full Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 35, of Erich Korngold, and an appearance by none other than Sting in Hanns Eisler’s The Secret Marriage, while still finding the core that connects all these pieces. Partly it’s that Hope finds some unusual things that connect with the rest of the program: a couple of German film scores from the early 1930s, and the German melody better known as As Time Goes By, from the film Casablanca. And partly it’s the variety and sequence of arrangements running from Jascha Heifetz down to the present day. The result is a fine outing that will satisfy anyone in the mood for big film themes, but also those who are seriously interested in film music.
