    Award-winning violinist Daniel Hope presents an eclectic and accessible mix of neo-Baroque, minimalist and soundtrack favourites, including works and arrangements by contemporary masters like Ludovico Einaudi, Arvo Pärt, Karl Jenkins, Max Richter, Gabriel Prokofiev, Alex Baranowski and many more. “Spheres” features a curated collection of repertoire celebrating the idea, first brought forward by Pythagoras, that planetary movement creates its own kind of music, bringing beauty, harmony and simplicity to our complex solar system. This idea has fascinated philosophers, musicians, and mathematicians for centuries. Featured as main soloist on Max Richter’s acclaimed “Vivaldi Recomposed”, Hope is known for an effortless classical sound and intriguing approach to repertoire. Music of reflection, contemplation and relaxation.

    With the presence of such composers as Michael Nyman and Karl Jenkins, this might look like a standard-issue British recording of crossover music for violin and other instruments. But actually it's a more complex and more ambitious thing than that. Under the title Spheres, South African-born British violinist Daniel Hope combines crossover heavyweights (even John Rutter is present as creator of the rather soupy arrangement of Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11) with Baroque works, short tonal works by contemporary composers, and minimalists Arvo Pärt and Philip Glass, along with minimalist-leaning but unclassifiable Ludovico Einaudi. The spheres rubric sometimes seems to indicate nothing more definite than something revolves, or moves cyclically within a dynamic system, and the chief appeal of this release may well be to those seeking profundity on the cheap. Yet the range of Hope's choices compels a certain respect. The one work entitled Spheres, by Gabriel Prokofiev (grandson of Sergey), is a nifty collection of phrases that proceed from simplicity to chaos, and there are other intriguing short works such as the two excerpts from Lera Auerbach's 24 Preludes for violin and piano, Op. 46. The Baroque pieces are well integrated into the whole; Johann Paul von Westhoff's Imitazione delle campane (Imitation of the Bells), a work from the repertory of solo violin music preceding Bach's sonatas, is not nearly as profound as Hope thinks it is, but it makes an unusual introduction to the whole collection of pieces, which has a positive X factor coming from its combination of surface simplicity and ingenious variety. Worthwhile for anyone looking for a relaxing listen; it will stick in your head in unexpected ways.

    Review by James Manheim, Allmusic.com

    I’ve always admired Daniel Hope for his determination to follow an unfashionable path. This album of 18 bite-sized pieces, in which Hope is joined by the Deutsches Kammerorchester Berlin and the Berlin Radio Choir, makes me think again. Hope writes in the liner notes, ‘My aim was to bring together composers… united by the age-old question: is there anything out there?’ But the question for any listener must be: is there anything in here?

    Barely, is the answer. Two or three pieces deserve to be heard. Pärt’s Fratres emerges as the craggy masterwork it truly is, and the works by German Baroque composer Johann von Westhoff and Philip Glass are engaging. Everything else is feeble beyond belief. My star ratings salute Hope’s determination to wring every drop of expressivity from the music, however vacuous, and the glowing recorded sound. The music itself barely deserves one star. Hope tries to dignify it by invoking a connection with mankind’s dreams about the heavenly spheres in the CD notes. But it’s embarrassingly obvious that there’s no real connection. It’s depressing to see a once-proud label like DG releasing something so meretricious.
