2014 release from the internationally renowned violinist and composer, This album beautifully showcases both David's skills as a violinist and his deft touch as a composer of modern classical music, Features collaborations with Andrea Bocelli and Nicole Scherzinger. Decca. Review: Not release in U.S. - great album - This album has not been released in the U.S., only in Europe. It is a loss to audiences here. David Garrett brings classical music and classical music history to the forefront. My daughter who is a young violinist has decided that he must practice many many hours. There is no hesitation, only musicality on even the most difficult pieces. I'm glad I was able to find and purchase this album on desertcart - I could not purchase it through ITunes or the David Garrett website. Review: All Day, Every Day. Great Album. - David Garrett. ALWAYS thrilling, always surprising. After the rock albums and other experimental this and that lately, it's nice to get back to some of the kinds of work that allow him to showcase his exceptional talent. He's electrifying live, and only somewhat less so in his recordings. (He's a visual feast, after all.) Wonderful album. It's become the default CD in my player.

Not release in U.S. - great album
This album has not been released in the U.S., only in Europe. It is a loss to audiences here. David Garrett brings classical music and classical music history to the forefront. My daughter who is a young violinist has decided that he must practice many many hours. There is no hesitation, only musicality on even the most difficult pieces. I'm glad I was able to find and purchase this album on Amazon - I could not purchase it through ITunes or the David Garrett website.

All Day, Every Day. Great Album.

And "Timeless" is just exquisite - two beautiful symphonies!
Between "Caprice" and David's CD "Timeless", I'm wearing both of them out. Caprice shows David's incredible mastery of the violin to the max! And "Timeless" is just exquisite - two beautiful symphonies!

Great!
This cd is wonderful. However it has all the same music as "Garrett vs Paganini" (the soundtrack for the movie) except for Erlkonig. I thought it had something different but... I can never have too much David Garrett!!!

Great performance!
Love this album. Devil's Trill Sonata rocks. It is brilliant arrangement. It is so fresh. David Garrett composed Ma Dove Sei for Andrea Bocelli. It is so beautiful.

Garrett's virtuosic rearrangements of classical tunes and cantabile compositions are ravishing and exciting. 1. Caprice No.24 A catchy theme and fanciful variations each for a new dazzling technical display in a new direction (rollicking playfulness, stormy passions, desolate yearning) to bring out an astonishing range of violin sounds and emotional colouring (bright chirpy high octave, dark mournful longing and pain). 2. Ma Dove Sei (English/Italian version) A heart-melting aria full of romantic warmth and Italian sensibility, heightened by tenor Bocelli's velvety phrasing, as passion soars with the ardent yearning violin. 3. La Campanella A brilliant, ringing bell-song with embellished colouraturas, pearl-like notes played staccato and ravishing chords. The expressive violin is seductively sweet. 4. Io Ti Penso Amore (in English/Italian/3rd language unknown) A sweet, soaring duet of desire and passion. The gorgeous soprano spans a great range, spurring heart-piercing yearning from the sweeping, intensely emotional violin. Surprisingly the beautiful ending has a distinct Chinese accent. 5. Sonata No. 12 in E minor, Opus 3 The evocative violin sings a sweet Italian melody with lovelorn lilt and warm resonance. 6. Devil's Trill Sonata Elegant and playful, reminiscing the pop-baroque soundtrack of a lavish period teen drama: singing legato line alternates with innocent anarchistic up-tempo Hyper Romantic classic pop. The extensive multiphonic cadenza with feverish trills is breathtaking; the richly nuanced full-sound violin sings with warmth and passion. 7. Capriccio Tarantella A lovely pitched virtuosic power play for two violins at dazzling speed. 8. Swan Lake Theme Wild and unrestrained, the violin explores the themes of romance, betrayal and redemption with extreme passion and rock'n'roll resonance. 9. Rachmaninoff Concerto No. 2 A powerfully evocative score. The dark, impassioned violin sings with warmth and romantic yearning, and the rippling emotional undercurrents continue (on the piano) long after the violin has gone. 10. Caprice No. 5 The compelling violin attacks flying arpeggios, dashing scales, multiple-rebound ricochet with powerful Wagnerian passion and intensity. 11. A La Turca The violin leads a sweet, whimsical march; the magical Oriental atmosphere created by the orchestra is lovely. 12. Scarlatti Sonata in F minor, k466 A beautifully poignant Italianate violin melody of the tenderest feelings and deepest longings, subtly echoed by classical guitar notes. 13. Gypsy Dance Soon the wistful violin loses all inhibitions and dances into a whirlwind Gypsy romance as tomorrow is not guaranteed. 14. Carnival Of Venice An amazing display of violin virtuosity with flirty brilliance and rhythmic playfulness. Extra Special: 1. Beautiful album cover; fabulous booklet with fine-art photos. 2. Reorganised (from album "Garrett vs. Paganini") track listings create a beautiful narrative to enhance the musical experience.
