The only autobiography of „the greatest violinist of his generation“ (Yehudi Menuhin)

The road to the pinnacle of violin-playing has not been an easy one for David Garrett. His childhood revolved around discipline and working daily with his father, who fostered his talent and supported him, while also being an ambitious driving force. From the tender age of ten, he was already performing on stage with the world’s greatest orchestras, later playing all the classical works as a teenager, before freeing himself from the shackles of his wunderkind existence in his early twenties and moving to New York to study.

It was in that city that he laid the foundations for a new genre of classical music in the form of „crossover“, combining virtuoso violin music with the latest pop, which made him more famous than ever before. David is the perfect embodiment of a young man’s onerous quest to carve out his own path and live authentically, finding his very own solution to this problem by fully committing to something that could just as easily have destroyed him as a person – music.

In this autobiography, we witness his world through his own eyes; the dazzling highs, along with the sweat and tears – a dramatic, inspiring and touching book for all fans and music-lovers.

Autorenporträt
Im Alter von 4 Jahren werden das Interesse und die Leidenschaft von David Garrett für die Violine geweckt, und er bekommt den ersten Unterricht. Mit 10 Jahren gibt er sein Orchester-Debüt, mit 13 Jahren wird er der jüngste Künstler, der jemals bei der Deutschen Grammophon unter Vertrag genommen wurde. Er spielt als Solist die großen Violinkonzerte mit den führenden Dirigenten und Orchestern der Welt. Eine schwere persönliche Krise bringt ihn dazu, mit Anfang 20 ein Studium an der weltberühmten Juilliard School in New York zu beginnen. Hier perfektioniert er seine Idee von 'Crossover'-Musik, indem er Melodien der Klassik auf seine ganz eigene Art und Weise mit Rock- und Pop-Elementen verbindet. Mit dieser Kombination schafft er es, Menschen generationsübergreifend für klassische Musik zu begeistern. Für den großen Erfolg stehen beispielhaft über 1600 Konzerte weltweit, über 4,5 Millionen verkaufte Alben sowie 25 Gold- und 17 Platin-Auszeichnungen u. a. in Deutschland, Österreich, Hongkong, Singapur, Taiwan, Mexiko und Brasilien.
