David Garrett: Iconic - 2 Vinyl

Leírás

Inspired by the legendary violinists whose dazzling showpieces and heart-melting melodies David Garrett fell in love with as a child, Iconic includes more than twenty tracks with music by Bach, Dvořák, Gluck, Kreisler, Mendelssohn and Schumann, among many others, is presented in arrangements for violin, guitar and orchestra. Garrett is being joined in duet arrangements by his former teacher Itzhak Perlman, star tenor Andrea Bocelli, flautist Cocomi and trumpeter Till Brönner.

David Garrett’s personal choice of music evokes the golden era of violin virtuosi, when performers such as Zino Francescatti, Arthur Grumiaux, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler and Yehudi Menuhin delighted audiences with popular encores and other compact pieces. As a young musician, he looked up to these and other players from the past, aspired to emulate their artistry and immersed himself in their historic recordings.
