Daniel Hope & Aydar Gaynullin – Schnittke: Polka (Arr. by Aydar Gaynullin for Violin and Accordion)

Schnittke: Works for Violin and Piano – Listen here: The violinist Daniel Hope pays tribute to the Russian composer Alfred Schnittke with his new album “Schnittke: Works for Violin and Piano”. The Guardian calls Alfred Schnittke “one of the twentieth century’s most original and fascinating composers”, and Daniel Hope himself has long been fascinated by Schnittke’s music - ever since he met Schnittke when he was only 15 years old and an aspiring young musician. In this video Daniel Hope plays the Polka arranged for accordion by and with the accordionist Aydar Gaynullin. The video was recorded in 2020 at Daniel Hope’s own home in Berlin as part of the TV Series Hope@Home, transforming his living room into a high-tech musical TV studio bringing music to people’s homes during the pandemic. On the violinist’s latest album for Deutsche Grammophon “Schnittke: Works for Violin and Piano” the Polka can be heard in a version for piano with the Ukrainian pianist Alexey Botvinov. The programme of the album embraces a wide range of the composer’s styles, from the Polka and Tango to the multi-layered Violin Sonata No.1, the work that first ignited Hope’s passion for Schnittke’s music.
