小提琴家霍普的曾祖父在1890年代從愛爾蘭沃特福德前往南非,開啟了新生活。雖然霍普從未在愛爾蘭居住,但在1970年代初,因被迫離開南非尋求政治庇護時,愛爾蘭接納了霍普及其無國籍家族,給予他們國籍。這一身分深深影響了霍普的生活和音樂創作,也促使他創作紀錄片《居爾特夢:霍普的隱秘愛爾蘭歷史》。在音樂學家奧利維耶·富雷的支持下,霍普開始探索愛爾蘭民間音樂與古典音樂的聯繫。這一探索最終催生了《愛爾蘭根源》專輯,為霍普追尋其音樂DNA中愛爾蘭元素的自然延伸。
《愛爾蘭根源》是這段音樂旅程的結晶,專輯收錄了愛爾蘭二十世紀作曲家伊娜·博伊爾和大詩人兼豎琴手奧卡羅蘭的作品,經典的《丹尼男孩》,以及三百年前在愛爾蘭風靡一時的維瓦第《和諧的靈感》協奏曲。
霍普的新專輯匯聚了眾多傑出的愛爾蘭音樂家,包括傳統音樂團體Lúnasa、豎琴手雪凡·阿姆斯壯、長笛演奏家詹姆斯與珍·高威夫婦、歌手瑞亞·加維、多樂器演奏家與民間音樂家羅斯·戴利、希臘小提琴家帕帕納斯,以及由蓋斯指揮的希臘塞薩洛尼基國家交響樂團。
《愛爾蘭根源》專輯不僅展示了霍普對愛爾蘭音樂的深厚熱愛,也體現了他對家族歷史的探索和感激之情。這張專輯是一段音樂旅程,帶領聽眾穿越愛爾蘭音樂的歷史和文化,感受其中的情感和美麗。
