David Garrett is one of the few musicians to whom I'm thrilled to concerts - both rock and classical music to - but of which I have only a few albums. There are people who are incredibly present on stage, full of play and give joy of life until the last moment everything sparkle with enthusiasm and their performance is absolutely brilliant - but which can bring all this only limited to a disk. This is of course very difficult, my bar is perhaps even too high. David Garrett has but, I believe, for studio recordings of his crossover world a little more potential, while he is on the stage in terms of violin playing the proverbial limelight. But the album. The title "Music" is as simple as it is original - well chosen, fit, called the heart of the matter. Toll on the cover the flying hair and the fireworks of colors - well done. In the assessment of music you have to look just what you'd expect - with this album definitely the joy of music, and indeed to any direction. The ostrich is varied and colorful, to notch played - with Garrett is one with the quality of violin playing always on the safe side, he does neither bungling still mediocre. Of course, the choice is a matter of taste. My favorites are definitely "Beethoven Scherzo" and "Sabre Dance" and the purely classical pieces. Whether, however, here too, "Tico Tico" must have, what has really already fizzled out on each tea dance, remains undecided. Great for me "Sandstorm" and "Viva La Vida" - the latter presenting on stage and in video with sophisticated pedal-recording technology - that is a virtuoso, that's great! "Celtic Rondo" and "Whole Lotta Bond" I found the concert well, here somehow a bit colorless. Highly sensitive I am with any covers of Queen pieces. I wish you'd let Freddie his legacy, as he conceived it, it's not better anyway. "We Will Rock You", however, is anyway now totally commercialized. To me that sounds on the violin somehow wrong. The superimposed Paganini Caprices I hear out difficulties, are also not somehow. This may be due to my lack of expertise now also. Conclusion - the album is a bit patchy - but that is different now time to taste of listener to listener. I have seen the promo videos - have I also liked very much. Garrett explained with meticulous patience every single piece and its rationale for the selection - for the layman sometimes maybe not quite understood (at least you should know what are pizzicato). He also speaks for the first time the fact that he did not see generation-bound music - this is new, so far he has always addressed exclusively young audience. Pronounced unworthy of him I find a statement in the booklet in the acknowledgments. He thanked his staff for a "watching out for troublemakers". This "troublemakers" are nothing more than fans with now and then a different opinion or courage to criticism. These people are denounced or blocked on his side. Not so good. This sideswipe I had pinched me in his place. Finally, a few words about the accompanying photos - sorry, David is not at all. We all know that he is handsome. In concert he has the rogue in the eyes and the pure joy on his face. I wish in the booklet were snapshots of the concerts - everything would be better than this languishing half-naked hunk with too much make-up on her face. He is not, this is more a stylish doll. Lovely to look at - of course, what woman looks because not even like to go - but he does not need. Garrett offers his skills, since it does not necessarily need nor the male model with borderline tiefsitzdendem waistband. Not that I'm a prude or fussy. The images are just not fair to him. Overall a good album. Who At length itself, will definitely have fun at the "Music" - absolutely and definitely.
