Background: Mendelssohn's beautiful Violin Concerto: a work that fascinated the 6-year-old Daniel Hope in his early days of learning the violin. He never lost his fascination with the Concerto, and ever since it has accompanied him throughout his career as one of today's most successful violinists.

Now he has finally recorded it, but not in the version that usually is played in the concert hall.

Hope has chosen the 'Urtext' version that he discovered through the Mendelssohn expert Larry Todd. The first version that Mendelssohn wrote was considerably revised according to the wishes of the violinist Ferdinand David for whom the concerto originally was composed. Now Hope has unearthed the first version from 1844 that still has all the elements that make this piece a hit but at the same time is much more passionate and vivid according to Daniel Hope.
