Just before showtime, we stand at the V.I.P. entrance because of our photocall, when an almost 6 feet tall blonde sunnyboy in jeans and jacket jumps out of a small van, and would have run straight into the audiance,if nobody had hold him back and directed him backstage. He takes this in a humourous way and laughs. Yes, he seems very nice and is definately a blockbuster for girlies. - The other thing is, that he is the chain between serious classical music, a modern way to play and rockmusic. David has grown up with Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, but also luvs Metallica and Marilyn manson. And he is just about to get himself a very big name....

The concert starts at 8 p.m., and how shall I say..... he comes on stage, in the same outfit, as he had  jumped out of the van, in opposite to his stagemusisicans Giorgio Serci on guitar and John Haywood on Keyboard/piano, who are dressed in black, like most of the audiance. But maybe that's it, what makes David so loveable. Oh by the way, there are also Milana Chernyavsha on piano inbetween and Ben Bryant on drums. The performance is split into two halfs. Whereby the first part is rather very classical, and the second part is more or less a cross over between classical and modern. Pagani... ehm sorry.... David is really good. He plays the hungarian dance no.5 from Brahms as cool and brilliant as Bizets Carmen suite or the Bumble Bee Flight from Rimsky Korsakoff. And you definately gotta hear once in a lifetime David's way to play Metallica's 'Nothing Else Matters' on a violine. It is actually included on his new Cd 'Virtuoso'. Inbetween this handsome guy tells the audiance funny and entertaining anekdotes in fluent german without any accent, and he takes the micky outta his collegues up there. 'Actually I can talk about them whatever I want, they don't catch a word anyway as they don't understand german'. But also his english sounds more american, then spoken by an american. And this gets down very well at the crowd. 

He plays as well as what he looks like, and that's definately no disadvantage, wo I've discovered quite a few young girls in the audiance. Over all during the break the screen in the back of the stage shows the message: 'David Garrett is signing autographs aftershow'. Oh jes.... I fear, that's gonna be a long evening for our sunnyboy, although the musical magic is done by 10 p.m. In the end he receives a bunch of flowers, which he passes on to the audiance immidiately and plays another encore.
That's it with the postmodern violine concerto. I for my part don't survive the signature hour, as I wanna get out the parkingslot before the whole crowd is following.
But however, and if you've missed the concert, David is coming back to Germany soon within a couple of months. So you get another chance to check out this huge talent 
of David Garrett.-
