About Violin Ctos
Product Description For those just discovering Chad Hoopes, nineteen-year-old American violinist, the term "revelation" aptly applies. For his debut recording he has chosen two seemingly opposed concertos: Mendelssohn's famous violin concerto and the concerto composed by his compatriot, John Adams. "Implacably melodic", says Adams of his work. Review The cover of this impressive CD shows the prodigiously talented American violinist Chad Hoopes in a hooded sweatshirt, a bow balanced on his folded arms. There's balance, too, in the choice of repertory here: Mendelssohn's evergreen concerto in an urgent, passionate rendition, and that of John Adams, showing off Mr. Hoopes's enormous stamina and brilliant, zippy sound. --Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, The New York Times, May 2014 Chad Hoopes is just as convincing delivering the swooning emotional immediacy of Mendelssohn as the sharp intellectualism of the Adams. His playing is indeed remarkable, and the album as a whole is deeply satisfying. --CD HotList, May 2014 Praised equally for his "molten bravura" (News Times Connecticut) and "understated sensitivity" (Sarasota Herald-Tribune), the exceptional 19-year-old violinist Chad Hoopes' first disc from Naïve blends old-world passion and new-world panache, featuring two iconic concertos-Mendelssohn's beloved Violin Concerto in E minor and John Adams' endlessy melodic Violin Concerto from 1993. --Lisa Flynn, April 2014
