With his crossover album "Music", star violinist David Garrett virtuously combines the different musical styles and epochs, presenting not only pieces that go straight to the blood, but also setting standards in terms of the versatility of his violin playing. In arrangements from Ludwig van Beethoven to Michael Jackson, the violinist plays fascinatingly with various elements from the world of classical and pop music.
"Music" - a word that is understood around the globe. No wonder that David Garrett, who has successfully crossed all borders in his art for years and combines different styles, genres and generations, chose this title, which aims for universality, for his new album. With "Music" the exceptional artist musically seizes the chance to present the violin to his listeners from a completely different light. On his most versatile crossover album ever, David Garrett exhausts all possibilities to show the world what the art of perfect violin playing is all about.
On his DVD "Music! - Live in Concert", he shows once again that he feels at home not only in the studio but also on stage. With classics like "We Will Rock You" he opens the live experience and then leads through a colourful programme full of energy and music history. Between Beethoven's and Paul McCartney's works you will find yourself in Nirvana, Coldplay and Justin Timberlake. With his versatility and the extraordinary atmosphere of his concerts, David Garrett once again captivates and captivates the audience.
