VÖ: OCTOBER 12, 2012
UNIVERSAL MUSIC - DECCA
In 2012, David Garrett's album Music was released, impressively underlining his ability to combine the different musical worlds of classical, rock and pop like hardly any other artist of our time. This is also the opinion of fans and critics around the globe: this man manages to unite genres with gripping passion and fascinating ease, to wander through musical worlds and to transform essences of classics, whether rock, classical, pop or punk, into impressive new interpretations. This is made clear by the selection of songs: From "We Will Rock You" (Queen), "Cry Me A River" (Justin Timberlake), "Viva La Vida" (Coldplay) to "Music" (John Miles), "Scherzo"(Beethoven) - David Garrett sees the challenge for a crossover album precisely in the diversity:
"In all my arrangements, I'm never concerned with copying sounds and voices, such as those of Queen and Freddy Mercury, over to my instrument, as it were.(...) You need a lot of creativity to let the spark fly and show the works in a new light."
