But this can work, "experiment"?
I think: yes, it can. I have few points of contact with classical music and know only the more well-known pieces such as Beethoven's 5th Symphony or Für Elise. Other classical works are known to me, but they run with me rarely.
But why not the classical give a chance, just when it was played by my favorite violinist?
David Garrett and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra play perfectly together. The music is lively and smooth. David Garrett takes very back and fits very well into the overall ensemble. Nevertheless, you can hear him out and his Stradivari and hears his typical way of playing.
The interpretation of the works I feel as successful and very harmonious. Gaiety and drama come over as well as lightness and melancholy. The CD goes very well with a relaxing evening on the sofa, as well as a candlelit dinner or a leisurely afternoon of reading.
Conclusion:
David Garrett shows here his classical side and is also so his fans and those who might still want to reach. A strong buy recommendation!
