Chad Hoopes, violin, MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, Kristjan Järvi, conductor

For those just discovering this nineteen-year-old American violinist, the term "revelation" aptly applies. For his début in the recording studio he has chosen two seemingly opposed concertos: Mendelssohn's famous violin concerto and the magic concerto composed by his compatriot, John Adams (b. 1947). "Implacably melodic", says Adams of his work - a point the two pieces prove to have in common in this magnificent performance by Kristjan Järvi and his Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra.


John Adams’s Concerto, composed in 1993 for Jorja Fleezanis, who gave the premiere in Minnesota the following year, taps Hoopes’s lyricism and dexterity to gainful effect. Here he is up against the classic recording by Gidon Kremer on Nonesuch but newcomers to the Concerto – or, indeed, advocates of the Kremer – will not be disappointed with Hoopes’s understanding and realisation of the Adams idiom, most hauntingly voiced in the Chaconne of the slow movement, where, as Adams says, ‘the violin floats like a disembodied spirit around and about the orchestral tissue’. Here and in the hectic rhythmic pulse of the finale Hoopes is in his element.
