I have seen this twice on PBS. They use it in their pledge drive, which is annoying because you do not want this music to stop while public television tries to get into your wallet. Here we have an all new approach to music. When Josh Groban hit the airwaves, I think someone decided to call him symphonic pop. I don't think anyone will be able to pin down what David Garrett performs. In the US, we are late comers to his talent. You can surf the net and read the news from across the world and David Garrett makes headlines. I don't know that anyone else could have me put on the "Summer" (Vivaldi) track and turn the volume way up. Just about everyone has heard "Dueling Banjos" (the Deliverance soundtrack), but they have never heard it like this. Everyone I've played it for, breaks into a big grin because it is such a fun sound. He also did justice to Michael Jackson in his rendition of "Smooth Criminal".

In Europe and Asia, this guy fills stadiums because his sound is powerful, beautiful, and enchanting. Who else has ever considered composing an album with everything from Vivaldi to Metallica? He has a website and I encourage folks to look it up. On the website you have the option for International or US and a media player will let you listen to this astounding young man.
It would be so very helpful if Amazon might tell us WHEN will this DVD be available?

Performed in concert at Berlin's exquisite Tempodrom Arena in January of 2009, this DVD showcases David Garrett's unique and wholly individual style which pays as much homage to Metallica as to Bach. This concert covers an incredibly diverse selection of repertoire, representing David's love for many genres and his remarkable ability to tackle each with unsurpassed enthusiasm. Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" is cleverly reinterpreted, as is Queen's ballad, "Who Wants to Live Forever." AC/DC's "Thunderstruck" is given a memorable new twist, alongside "He's a Pirate" from "Pirates of the Carribean." Given his enduring commitment to his first musical love, watch as David performs classical selections including the last movement of Vivaldi's "Summer" from The Four Seasons, and Bach's "Air." Not to be satisfied with only imaginative covers, David also displays his own deft writing skills with notable originals, including "Chelsea Girl."
