• Daniel Hope, violinist and music director of the New Century Chamber Orchestra, calls his new album with the orchestra, Music for a New Century (Deutsche Grammophon), “a portrait of composition in postmodern times”. This is a deft way of explaining why four wholly diverse works have been programmed together, all commissioned or co-commissioned by Hope and his ensemble.
