David Garrett: Rock Symphonies CD Review

I grew up listening to Nirvana, Guns 'N Roses and so many other alternative and rock bands. I remember wearing the plaid flannel shirts and Birkenstock sandals with white socks...ah, the memories. When I first heard of David Garrett and his Rock Symphonies CD I was intrigued and definitely interested in reviewing it.

David Garrett combines two of his favorite loves in life--classical music and rock music from his generation on his newest music venture. He makes the songs his own by adding in his amazing violin skills. Being a child prodigy he has been playing music for the world since he was a young boy. He was named best-selling classical music artist of 2009 with his debut album staying on the Classical Crossover Charts at #1 for 31 straight weeks.

His concerts have been sold-out around the world and after listening to Rock Symphonies, I can see how. The music is amazing--I played the violin from 5th-7th grade and still to this day I love to listen to talented musicians play. David Garrett? Totally talented and amazing. He plays with such a passion that totally comes through in this album. His renditions of the rock songs are fantastic. If you're a fan of Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Nirvana, Guns 'N Roses--check out his album--I think you'll like it!

His album can be purchased at Best Buy, iTunes and www.amazon.com. PBS is also airing a television special this month, Rock Symphonies, of David Garrett's sold out Berlin show. He performed his musical talent in front of more than 18,000 fans!
