A Listening delight: Sarah Willis interviews Daniel Hope for the DG Podcast Series

How does a star violinist spend the Corona lockdown and why is Sarah Willis playing on a garden hose? Sit down comfortably with a cup of coffee, start the podcast and you’ll have a big smile on your face within seconds as you listen to the tales that Sarah Willis and Daniel Hope exchange. The horn player and the violinist know each other well and not only share a love of music but also an excellent sense of humour. The new podcast episode of the two British musicians is unashamedly lively, one feels the artists’ mutual respect and can share in the fascinating details of a full-blooded artist’s life that they describe. And of course following its recent release as an album, Daniel Hope describes the creation of his ‘Hope@Home’ livestream, which he developed in cooperation with Arte, Deutsche Grammophon and many renowned fellow artists to brighten the lockdown for his fans.
