"It's not that they said, 'You're not allowed to listen to it,' but it was pretty clearly stated that it's not really something which is a quality product," David said. Pop music - which David certainly has embraced today - did not meet with much approval from David's parents during his childhood. Unlike his brother, who was forced to learn an instrument, "I actually did want to play in the beginning." "It was typical for me to want to have the same things as he did, from clothes, to games, to the violin." "I always thought it was a cool thing to do because my older brother was doing it," David said. We spoke over the phone several weeks ago, about his early years as a prodigy, about recovering from injury, about his Guadagnini and Strad violins, and about his attitude that performing should be joyful.īorn in Germany, David started playing the violin at age 4, mostly to be like his brother. It is my hope and my wish that this album will help open the hearts of my listeners to the beauty of classical music." David writes in the program notes: "My home has always been classical music…I know of no adventure more thrilling than that of discovering the works of great composers like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Tchaikovsky and so many more.
