Journey to Mozart is a personal exploration of the composer’s world, that includes not only favourite works by the master, but also music by contemporaries, including Haydn, Myslivecek and Gluck. For Daniel Hope, Mozart remains both an inspiration and an enigma: “Every time I play him, I can only shake my head because I can’t even begin to fathom the scale of his genius.”  

The album consists of two popular Violin Concertos by Haydn and Mozart, as well as the famous Mozart Adagio in E-Major.  

With this album Daniel Hope not only rediscovers Mozart himself, but also continues his fruitful relationship as musical director of the Zurich Chamber Orchestra: “Each time I play Mozart with someone, I get to know Mozart from a very different angle. In Zurich I’m currently experiencing this in an extremely exciting way. Our journey together has lasted many years already, but now we’re undertaking it as a family.”  

The album ends with a magnificent arrangement of the famous Alla turca, newly arranged for Violin and Orchestra.
