"Vurdering: Ugens cd" - "The Hollywood Sound kommer fra Europa, bragt til USA af flygtninge fra nazismen. Daniel Hope præsenterer Hollywood-lyden på flere måder, både dens europæiske rødder, dens smukkeste temaer fra filmens guldalder - og hvad der videre hændte ... For violinisten Daniel Hope er denne musik en hjertesag ... Og han har en utrolig fornemmelse for den altid romantiske, og til tider nostalgiske stil, man hører".

"Mit Vbrato-Hochdrucks bis in den Espressivo-Grenzbereich beschwört er eine verschwenderische Klangsinnlichkeit, die fast erdrückt und auf Dauer einseitig wirkt".

"Hope's highly-charged and sumptuously expressive account of Korngold's Violin Concerto does the work proud. But much of the rest of this enterprising programme is slow and clothed in over-saccharine orchestrations".

"At the heart of this disc is his swashbuckling performance of Korngold's Violin Concerto, where Hope brings off with aplomb the tension between the work's contrasting lyrical ideas and the electric energy of the virtuoso writing. It's as if he had in mind the screen hero Errol Flynn".
