Michael Hoppe – Solace Michael Hoppe – Solace Michael Hoppe's exceptional, award-winning album offers a profound emotional voyage from the first song to the last, gliding from one heartfelt piece to the next with stunning, effortless transitions. With the aid of the Prague Symphony, Hoppe creates a sense of an elevated consciousness without losing a shred of musicianship. Hoppe's fine compositional ear is the backbone behind his grand, cinematic aural storytelling. Like human life itself, SOLACE moves constantly forward, but is dotted with bittersweet moments that Hoppe sees as divine. The yearning, bellowing cello on "So You" builds into the pure, transcendent joy of "Renouncement," and comes to rest on a kind of ghostly, majestic finale with "The Parting," featuring Vangelis. SOLACE was nominated for the 2004 Grammy Award for Best New Age Album.

Michael Hoppe – The Poet (Romances For Cello) Michael Hoppe – The Poet (Romances For Cello) This multi-media album mixes music with poetry and classic photographic portraits of the poets. The connection comes through composer Michael Hoppe, who had recently rediscovered the 5,000 image collection of his grandfather, famed portrait photographer E.O. Hoppe (1878-1972). Each of the eleven pieces for solo cello (performed by Swiss cellist Martin Tillman) was inspired by a separate poem; the liner notes match poem to portrait. Hoppe’s compositions are classically romantic, the essence of a Schumann or Brahms, but without their churning storminess. Although the cello has a wide range, and can even growl when the occasion warrants, Hoppe does not lead the cello to those non-sonorous places; when people say they love the cello, it is this voice, this range, this romance, this timbre that they love. Most romantic concertos have dramatic and bombastic sections, a test of dexterity to be sure, but most listeners really cherish the tender passages of redemption, love, or purity. The orch…estra hushes and the cello cries tender tears. Hoppe offers a whole album of just those moments. Tillman plays with extreme warmth and sensitivity; Hoppe’s piano and string chamber ensemble arrangements on the keyboard present the cello like the a blue robin’s egg in the nest. Hoppe says that the pieces were fully rehearsed and played live in the studio, all the way through with no overdubbing; the album has that immediacy and integrity. Of course, each poem has its own ambience. “Some Other Time” (Carl Sandberg/”The Great Hunt”) expresses an achingly simple longing. “Moon Ghosts” (Aldous Huxley/”A Sunset”) offers a heartbreaking theme where the lonely poet rekindles a moment of desire. “Diamonds of Rain” (Edward Thomas/”It Rains”) also broods over lost romance. Hoppe’s Robert Frost poem “A Minor Bird” has the country simplicity of an Aaron Copland composition. The most rhapsodic piece (“Riddles”) is based on the shortest poem, a drowned-in-love conundrum titled “Juliet” by Hilaire Belloc. Other poets represented include Kahil Gibran, A.E. Houseman, Alice Meynell, Sara Teasdale, G.K. Chesterton, and Walter de la Mare. I put on the album for a friend who folded in a flood of tears by track two. She commented that this was the sort of album one would listen to over and over again and cry the whole day. I agree. Two other albums complete the Hoppe photography set: The Yearning and The Dreamer (due to be released by Teldec in the fall of ’97), both with flautist Tim Wheater.

Michael Hoppe – The Dreamer (Romances for Alto flute Vol. 2) Michael Hoppe – The Dreamer (Romances for Alto flute Vol. 2) The soft music on “Alto Flute Romances” is composed with a slow tempo to take advantage of the wind-in-a-cave sound of the flute. Perfect for slowing down, relaxing, calming oneself, or playing as a lullaby. Some of the pieces sound a bit alike, but they are all in a similar tempo which adds to the relaxation effect. The “Lavender Shadows” is my favorite on the entire CD. Very nice. Genre : New Age, Neoclassical Year of Release : 1997 Label : US Audio Codec : APE Duration : 50:12 Tracklist: 01.
