Daniel Hope - Irish Roots - LP

2LP, Irish Roots

Daniel Hope's Irish Roots embodies his deep connection to Ireland, inherited from his paternal great-grandfather who left Waterford for South Africa in the 1890s. Though he never lived there, Hope's fascination with Irish culture led to the documentary Celtic Dreams: Daniel Hope's Hidden Irish History, and this album traces those roots through traditional tunes, baroque transcriptions, and ensemble arrangements.
