Biography

Having picked up his first violin at age 4, David made his stage debut at the age of 10 and became the youngest-ever artist to sign with the prestigious Deutsche Grammophon at the age of 13. As a child he worked with conductors legends like Zubin Mehta, Claudio Abbado and Yehudi Menuhin. At the age of merely 15 he recorded all 24 of Paganini’s Caprices. Yehudi Menuhin has even praised him as “the greatest violinist of his generation”. At this very point of his career, he opted for honing and broadening his skills, enrolling at the Juilliard School in New York: he became a student of Itzhak Perlman. After his graduation and continuing to this day David has been working with the most exceptional conductors in the classical field such as Zubin Mehta, Christoph Eschenbach and Riccardo Chailly. In addition, he plays with the most distinguished orchestras. Within his more than 10 years of international crossover career David outdid himself repeatedly. A Paganini among pop stars and a Jimi Hendrix among violinists, David is the “Devil’s Violinist” of our age, an international superstar who blurs the lines between Mozart and Metallica. With his programme “Unlimited” David toured worldwide including a concert at Arena di Verona (Sep. 2019) which is available on DVD. 2022 he toured with the programm "Alive - my soundtrack". November 2022 the release of the new album "Iconic" at Deutsche Grammophon.
