Electronic Dance Music spiced up with Rock, Pop, R&B, Hip Hop… etc. Music seems to be his first love in any way! David included great compositions from his EXPLOSIVE album into the show, which were real musical treats! The tracks were a brilliant combination of e.g. This concert was a genuine gem for true music fans who have their ears spot on!ĭavid started the show with DANGEROUS from his last album EXPLOSIVE in a superbly dynamic and truly “explosive” performance together with his dynamite Rock Band and the fantastic Frankfurt Philharmonic Orchestra and along with a really brilliant crew of Dancers! The lighting, lasers, fire-works and the Pyro technical fire in the show, taking place on a 360° round stage, were immensely professional… and the sound quality was brilliant! David Garrett proved once more that he is one of the most talented and vastly creative musicians of our times who combines a superb choice of fantastic musical styles and musical masterpieces, be it in crossover or in classical! Although his young age, David Garrett is not only a master virtuoso on his violin, but also, is he a fantastically creative and versatile composer and musical arranger! It is amazing listening to his music as he combines “music of the future and music of the past” so well, and awakens different styles of music in refreshing new ways! The song “Music” by John Miles was again performed fabulously by David that night! It really had sounded as if this particular song was written for him. Highly recommended.ĭAVID GARRETT - EXPLOSIVE TOUR CONCERT IN ZURICH The best is yet to come from David Garrett, and if his seventeen studio albums, four DVD’s and eight awards are anything to go by, his best is going to be incredibly special indeed. The man is more than just a talent, he’s pretty much a force of nature and in the classical world he’s still practically a baby. Garrett went from strength to strength, performing with the Munich Philharmonic at 16, enrolling at London’s Royal College Of Music, studying at Juilliard a couple of years later (which he paid for by modelling, as if he wasn’t infuriating enough already), and it only got even more astonishing in his twenties, where he was able to set the world record for fastest violin player in the world when he was 26. It would be nothing new to hear about the child prodigy captivating a country for a summer, before either folding due to the pressure of it all or said country losing all interest but neither of those happened. Now, this is all extremely impressive but it could also be where it stops.
He was also tapped for concerts on TV in his native Germany and The Netherlands. This was, of course, after receiving his first Stradivarius violin the year before when he was 11, by this point he’d become renowned for his talents, and he made his first two CD’s by the time he was 13. By seven he was enrolled at the Lübeck Academy of Music where he excelled as something of a prodigy, he spent five years there and at the age of 12 he was taken under the wing of legendary Polish violinist Ida Haendel. The first violin that Garrett’s father bought was for his older brother, but the four year old Garrett pretty much immediately took a shine to the instrument and was winning competitions within the year. What makes this more incredible is how it wasn't even going to be him playing originally. Lorde might have been performing covers on national radio by the time she was 13, but Garrett was a prize winning violinist by the time he was five. David Garrett is a perfect example of this. If you want to be a great classical musician, you’d better know your major scales by heart before you know the alphabet that well, and if you haven’t learnt your minor scales by the time you’ve started school you can forget about it. However, artists in the world of classical music must look at them and laugh themselves silly. From getting utterly wasted on everything under the sun to driving. Look at the singles charts and you’re likely to find a whole lot of artists who are legally unable to do some of the things you’ll hear about in the other songs. A lot is made of the youth of today’s pop stars.
