whole preparing to go on stage for the opening concert of the new season. he's the 1st soloist to serve as music director of the chamber orchestra. for the violinist however it is more than just the next step in his career it also involves revisiting his childhood. good.

ohio let's go back to the source where the music comes from not just the sound but the whole story because she's. this key there's more to it than just playing beautifully shot and since. it is it is just it's this is a story full of violence and joy and despair up brooding and travelling. on into ice and. you just every time you try to get away it somehow catches up with you again and you die and.

you. know. several years ago daniel hope begin investigating the history of the scattered family roots. among his discoveries was that some of his ancestors are buried at the wesen cemetery in the show a lot more gearing up for lynn. so there's a lot of focus meant. to eat. i'd like a little information about a grave site because my great great grandfather is buried here and so there were i did some research myself. but i saw. i'll introduce you to mr hanna some

a tremendous traitor he'll give you the information you need ok. too. hopefully the. great great grandfather is buried here you lose valentino really yes he was my great great grandfather. i was here the other day with my son and unfortunately i found that the grave isn't in as good a condition as it used to be this week. i see. an egyptian professor is currently interested in it oh i see it happens to be one of the most beautiful great in this cemetery and he wants to be buried like a pharaoh. the world of well just one question. i have to confess and but it's possible to go shopping for

a stranger's grave as it were. right well it's a so-called hereditary gravesite such it would belong to you but at some point the family renounced its claim to the grave. and then it passes back to us it says the 10 year on this grave site is now coming to an end i'm the last of the ballantine family in germany i attach no importance to repurchasing this plot that will be a not insignificant loss. as it has a i had no idea about all of this this is. owned by the for media my family fled to south africa. and so the. the valentines were christian family of jewish descent and had a villa in da. village. and they were persecuted

by the nazis and the villa was later taken over by the foreign office. it's now the german archaeological institute. it's essentially a homecoming after a very eventful century and see. now that i'm living here i'd really like to somehow retrieve this grave for us for our family and also for my son. it's just very important for me to rectify things. because if he does. sibling. daniel hope's great great grandfather your smile and team had the gravesite built

for the whole family. but then his children had to flee from the nazis and their places and the cemetery remained empty. daniel's parents were born in south africa he and his brother jasper were also born there. but the family eventually had to leave and in 1975 moved to london where daniel and his brother spent their entire childhoods.

i didn't want my children growing up in this budget society. christopher and i both felt that we couldn't continue there any longer and what really would have done anything to get out politically it had become an acceptable when we lived in durban the telephone was very obviously tapped we had to technicians arriving one sunday in the middle of lunch saying oh we've come to fix your fur and. well it was quite clear that they weren't fixing it they were fixing microfinance into it and it was done in a very matter of fact way the mail was always open and we were followed. and it was a very very unpleasant feeling of my writing was being banned. and it was very difficult to continue working but more than that the situation to me was it was impossible. and so i thought it was rather like needing air more air somehow.

and so with considerable reluctance we decided i decided to stop to go and of course that was not easy because what they used to do in south africa was you would ask for a passport and they would say no so you would ask again and they would say no however they would say if you wish to go we can give you called an exit permit but the only trouble is that you may not return. the hopes faced an uncertain future. first a friend in paris put them up for the language barrier proved to be a problem so they moved on to britain. then through christopher hopes grandfather they were able to apply for irish citizenship.

so money a few minutes must have been quite a change for my parents much more than for me because i was very young so i also think it's after south africa they eventually ended up in paris then somewhere in the country here in england and had basically given up hope of finding anything reasonable who wants to fit in who goes for them to use suddenly you end up in this little paradise where everything is green where people are friendly of course it was like a dream come true all. right thanks a lot of shit. like that. after they settled in the leafy london suburb of highgate soon took an unexpected

turn for the better. i did yes yes this is my house if i use them if they were. getting out oh well you'd be welcome to come back inside to relieve. in the problem or you would soon like the end of it because that's where i was daniel's mother happened to become the secretary and then manager of you who the menu and the most famous violinist of his time titles. is this still the apple tree in the garden. it's not it's just. that. this is exactly exactly as it was this is not changed i do remember the covens. and this is this was it was not yeah this is this is new.

in flight. it was easy to menu in the violinist's room in a live feed itself as the jets yeah my mother was a secretary. and menu in a ranged with reverend fielding for us around the house how incredible so we come from south africa. we completely penniless yes and this was the 1st port of call. and it was not that was the room where my father would sit and type yes his 1st book. was born in that room oh do you mind if i go just up the old road going to see that. that.

you want if. this was my room and that. i did what i was practicing and i would go upstairs. and you know move back. with you but this is he's just changed it so. yeah. so this is why you were the 1st practice that's right credit as was the practicing real. friends had arranged a job interview with you the menu and for daniel's mother eleanor. the interview stood 5 minutes. because he and his wife were preparing to go on

tour to the united states they were busy and he came rushing in in his shorts and was busy practicing and he said oh it's nice to meet you and yes everything on this piece of paper are short a lot of interesting things you've done. what about music and did you know the difference between beethoven. and i said well yes he said fine well when can you start. and that was it. lives were changed forever. eleanor had only one condition for taking the job with menu and as daniel was still too young to stay at home alone she insisted that he be allowed to accompany her to work. menu in agreement on the menu once bill and heidi became the young daniel

holds 2nd home and. the. minions home was frequented by countless stars of the classical music or so for young daniel seeing them was just a part of everyday life and it also marked the beginning of discuss a mission to buy a lack. the ear. it was . was was.

daniel is an adorable little boy with lots of red curls and he came with his mother his father and his older brother and then he grew up quite quickly. say you can see him from so much as some lights and he's always around. obviously it's going to be something to do with music because he was like a sponge anything my father told him and he was and they were really close together they were. in a way. i can't say this really but he was absolutely the little boy that fit into the sound of you who if you see what i mean whereas we were all different we had different aspirations that he had all the aspirations of reminded you hoody of his childhood me and.

danny when he was about 3 and a half or he said to me that he wanted to play the violin and i thought. maybe maybe it's possible. and he'd seen many many. many of his hoss week like some young children want to be in some drivers or ballet dancers he saw many violinists. as a command and others would come to the menu and how so he had seen these people but i didn't take his rip his suggestion very seriously but i thought ok we see if we can find a very small violin. i see if i can find a teacher who takes very small children and will see.

and there's me. that's me over and yes. daniel hope initially took lessons with a local violin teacher then he caught the attention of many when himself who offered him a place that is renowned music academy but daniel wasn't the easiest of pupils of school by the head of music school said i must come and said my husband and i went down. really very concerned because they wouldn't tell us

what the problem was and i wondered if indiana had committed some awful crime that's how it felt. and daniels called into the office of the music director and he said to us well he was very sorry to report the daniel had done something that was strictly forbidden and i held on to a chair and he said he was court practicing the mendelssohn concerto. this. says that a crime was something wrong with that and this. is far too young to be playing the mental so and just what is he supposed to be playing it was supposed to play the bass a minor and i said well he's been playing that for 2 years hasn't it isn't it time to move on no he said it's certainly not and what's more he was caught practicing secretly in the bathroom and am

carrying. an. ak. i. hope family would later spend their summers in pushcart in switzerland where daniel's mother eleanor organized many wins on music festival. daniel himself had been performing there since 1992.

the concerts in the church and neighboring sauna have always been among the highlights of the festival. even as a boy daniel hardly missed an appearance by his great role model you had a venue in. london which i had to my mother often used to take me along to the rehearsals to know i saw the 1st notes i really ever heard were in this church for laid by manual and often with his direct chamber orchestra. and it was a kind of orchestra in residence here. when they were here every summer and the

rehearsals with him in the orchestra were magical the 1st time i heard of all these 4 seasons the 1st time i heard mozart or beethoven it was like paradise for me right from the start and every time i come back here it's like coming home. as a woman the house. you take a right. as in london the hope family lived right next door to the menu in residence eleanor was focused on the festival while father christopher worked on his writing the children of the 2 families would play together in the surrounding meadows. off to their new lift the school they were long periods when i think menuhin felt he was

not going to be. and that was very interesting and the more the menu unsought this boy is not going to make it the more daniel thought this boy is going to make it so there was an interesting dynamic. and then when daniel was no longer expecting it menu and asked him to play a recital english taught all places. suddenly everything changed got. a little menu and didn't just say fantastic you made it but instead you have a lot of work ahead of you but you have got something of a day and that was enough for me when i saw for me i was 5. a new phase began as daniel devoted himself more seriously to his playing he also took lessons from. arguably the most famous violin teacher in the world and a champion of the russian school of music instruction. that dot dot dot.

and. he says it. when he. won an artist comes on stage with his instrument. and plays in front of an audience . and the. 2 to one is the real stage. it's like he's naked knocked in the 4th oath even if he played brilliantly you can still tell from his tone whether he has a rich life or not i he means the one or the. meeting the pianist minahan pressler would likewise prove to have a lasting impact on daniel hope in 2002 pressler offered the young violinist a place in his world renowned chamber music ensemble the trio.

if askance guns he was really very very special yes. and i was happy how we played. this oh he could absorb everything like a sponge. the wonderful enthusiasm he had for everything that hamish is subhuti fully everything developed a new. and how wonderful it was that his kind of talent gave me new ideas. and because of this great talent i felt he was a partner right from the start. and.

it was that special sensitivity keep the trio fresh impetus and when they finally parted company in 2008 the violinist took a courageous step. he wanted to realize his own projects and tell his own stories so once more he intuitively followed his mentor you already manual and became a soloist. daniel hope has been living in berlin with his wife and son since 2016 you're going

to yes a low mass speak to mr hood please thank you. mr hoon a daniel hope hello yes thank you very much. do you see any chance that we could get the tune back good this is from what about the gentleman from egypt hails you get good yes. you know we had talked about an idea or i had suggested that we could maybe do a concert or commemorative event for you. that we conceivable. daniel hope wants to bring his family history full circle and renew the contract on his ancestors gravesite here in berlin. the gentleman was supposed to pay a fee and hasn't done so. now that i have appeared. touched and so

enthusiastic that he's told me he will cancel the gentlemen's application and would be incredibly happy if i would take over the partnership or sponsorship so to speak of the gravesite again. for 6 relatives and only 2 are occupied. and his wife. on the moment spent like this with the family can be rare in addition to being a celebrated soloist can you hope is also an author and presenter as well as director of music concert and artistic director of the new century chamber orchestra in san francisco he has many commitments and spends most of his year on the road. basically if you want to have this life then you have to do everything for it to do

most you have to have such clear cut goals that you always stick development lives . on the farm. with you hoody there was a shit you said you would run to maybe 3 years hit. every morning every afternoon every evening was in the shitter hour by hour. and if you who do so again. from extrude following year in july at 3 o'clock there was nothing happening he would say to my wife there is an empty space here fill it book it do something and. i see something of a similarity with daniel. increasingly. and i think it probably goes together with the kind of performing career that

a soloist has but it is crazy there's no christian.

you hoody menu and died unexpectedly on march 12th 1909. shortly before him daniel hope played what would be his last concert with his mentor and fatherly friend. and. he came on stage with me for the applause how done then he indicated that i should play the encore and turned it is you will begin but instead

of going he said down with the orchestra on the stage you know. and of course the audience noticed that because if you had the menu and sits down you have to make room for him and of course you know something is going on. so he was sitting right there in front of me and i thought now i have a chance to play for him so i thought i'd play this codfish because we talked about it and i tried it before. and so i played it for him on the. on and when i'd finished he jumped up hugged me and we walked off the stage together as if you want to he said that was great. but you should perhaps have a different fingering here and remember this both stroke. was on that was how he always worked on getting better and. well again from that we left the stage and it was a very very warm and beautiful atmosphere sure enough. or

. not is after the concert we had dinner and then said goodbye and he flew to london because his wife was not very well. well there's all we were supposed to meet in berlin but that was the last time i saw him or. does for us as well as the museum now owned as he died there 3 days later. or do nothing 9 in retrospect of course the card issue wasn't meant as a prayer for him enough of course it wasn't but as a connection to him i thank you. dozens of us but looking back on the fact that it was the last piece i ever played for him was of course a very very moving until he says of being on side head since then since 1909 this work has very often accompany me in different situations with people who are close to me the main non-student order of anything or when i feel like i want

to try to make a point makes a physician and so he says it's. daniel hope did eventually manage to buy back his ancestor's grave site. many of his friends and relatives have gathered at the reason cemetery in berlin to attend a handover ceremony. daniel plays maurice ravel spurgeon of the cottage a traditional jewish prayer of mourning and memory of his great great grandparents

daniel hope plays 120 concerts a year all over the world he's currently on a major tour of asia with the zurich chamber orchestra on this night he has a concert and. his life as a soloist is intense full of contrasts and encounters but it's also lonely. hope is constantly driven by the desire to translate the themes that are close to his heart into music.

he's a musician who sets out to explore himself and his environment through his playing a restless seeker full of unbridled curiosity. sometimes there's also the danger of enjoying what you do so much that you just say great we're making music and it's beautiful women disease for the cause. but if you see what impact music can have in the field of music therapy for example mentioned how it can reach people how it can at least encourage people to communicate. then this does fertilization it's a very important that as a vision is to give thoughts you when you see that there is much more to it than just playing beautifully war shouldn't.
