A Moment with... Violin Virtuoso David Garrett
The violin prodigy rocks out equally on Beethoven and Led Zeppelin

ПЕРЕВОД - в посте 70

You'd be forgiven for mistaking David Garrett for a rock star. The long blond locks, the stubble and -- as he strides out of interview room and past us for a break, a tall imposing figure at almost 6 feet -- the ubiquitous rock star attire of leather boots and chunky sliver rings all scream the affirmative. That is, until he picks up the violin.

Even from outside the interview room where he performs a snippet for other interviewers, strains of Aerosmith's "Walk this Way" ring out clear and so-very-pure, the notes flying over complicated chords and running apperggios.

No, David Garrett most certainly isn't the long-lost cousin of Kurt Cobain or the lead singer of a hard rock/metal band -- he is a cross between violin prodigy and metal head who rearranges rock classics like Led Zeppelin's "Kashimir" and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with startling technical ability complete with a devil-may-care attitude. Calling him a rock star may not be that far off the mark. After all, this is the guy who has defiantly brought the clashing worlds of rock and classical music together, a combination that would have notoriously protective rock fans and the oft-snobbish classical music purists screaming in outrage.

With his long blond locks, stubble, and imposing height, David Garrett is more rockstar than violinist, but he rocks out equally on both Led Zeppelin and Beethoven.

And he doesn't care. "I'm not somebody who pays attention to what's happening around me," he says in his trademark husky voice, an American accent tinged with a German lilt. "If you do something different, you have to maintain good taste, but in the end I have to be happy and satisfied with what I do, and that's my main concern. I'm definitely a perfectionist!"

And even classical music purists have to begrudge Garrett's talent and pedigree musical background. Picking up the violin at the age of four, Garrett made his very first appearance as a soloist at ten before running away to the highly prestigious Julliard School in U.S to study. He also holds the Guinness World Record for Fastest Violin Player.

Not that they have anything to worry about. Classical music is Garrett's first love, and the reason why he does crossovers. "Crossover really started off a lot of the motivation to get new audiences for classical music, so that's why I'm even more ambitious with the classical projects," he enthuses.

David Garrett may not be a rock star in the truest sense of the word, but he certainly has all qualities to be one.

"Classical music is the reason why I do crossovers, not the other way around. And I'm always happy to have the opportunity to show people that I'm not a gimmick, that I'm somebody who takes this seriously."

So while Garrett may not be a rock star in the truest sense of the words, he certainly understands, and embodies the tenacity, hard work and passion that goes into being one. More importantly, he definitely doesn't care about being a rock star, and that in itself, is the mark of a true rock star.

LifestyleAsia: You're here to promote your latest album Rock Symphonies. If you could only use one word to describe the album, what would it be?

David Garrett (DG): Rockin'!

LSA: Fitting. The album is essentially an homage to all your heroes in the rock and classical world. How do you choose which songs to go onto the album?

DG: It's really a 50-50 mix between, first of all, stuff I love, and stuff I listen to, and then figuring it out if I can put my own spin on it, and if it's worth recording. Because a lot of the pieces are already are so iconic, if you don't have a very strong idea of what to do with it, I wouldn't even bother. So it's really about having a good idea on how to change the piece without losing its foundation and to add something to the piece to make it different and interesting.

LSA: You must have performed at thousands of venues. What would you say is the most memorable one so far?

DG: It's not that I don't want to remember, but once a show ends, I move on. I reflect very quickly what went wrong or right, but that's it. I don't look back and think 'oh I had such a great time'. I don't live in the past. I just focus on doing it better next time.

LSA: Traveling on the road so often must be really tiring. What do you do to unwind and relax?

DG: I'm not really good at unwinding and relaxing -- I get bored after twenty minutes of relaxing! I really don't have many hobbies these days [besides practicising]. It's not just about music for me -- I think about the staging, the business aspects, and making sure my management always pays me right... my management will tell you that I'm very adamant about being aware of every little detail. I can be quite a workaholic, and rightfully because if I just let things be, I always have a feeling that they're not as good as they could be.

LSA: Music and fashion often go hand-in-hand, and you have modeled yourself. What would you say is your style on and off-stage?

DG: Comfortable. I can never wear or buy something that I know is going to be uncomfortable. Even on stage, I believe the more you feel relaxed, the better the performance. Visually, I go for the things I like, but it's just a stage persona. Take Lady Gaga for instance, she has a concept there. I don't worry about these kind of things -- I find it great, but for me I just focus more on the music.

LSA: So you have long hair because it's comfortable too?

DG: Yes! It's very low-maintenance. You wash it and you tie it together, that's it. I go to the hairdresser once every six months and if I had short hair I'd probably be going once every two weeks!

LSA: If there's one person, dead or alive, you'd want to work with or meet, who would it be?

DG: I like people who f**ked things up. I would like to meet somebody who really kind of took the wrong turns like Kurt Cobain and Michael Jackson because I think you learn more from people who really didn't know what to do then.
