David Garrett

By the time he was thirteen years old, the virtuoso violinist David Garrett had a classical music career that would make most artists of any age envious.  A true child prodigy at age eight, he was being booked to play as a soloist in front of some of the world’s greatest orchestras, including the London Philharmonic, the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and the Russian National Orchestra.  When he turned thirteen, he was signed to one of the most famous and prestigious classical music labels in the world as a solo artist.  As a result, David has carved out a unique and wholly new artistic path, one that pays as much homage to Metallica as to Mozart. Dubbed, “the fastest violinist in the world,” David Garrett will be in the 2010 Guinness Book of World Records as the fastest-ever performer of the Flight of the Bumblebee, clocking in at a blistering 66 seconds.
