I have been following DBR for years. I saw him live at Le Poisson Rouge in NYC last month. He is truly a unique voice.

I wish composers were listed. Can anyone tell me what who this piece is by? It’s gorgeous.

inspiring work…I’m also a violinist who tries to push the boundaries/typecasting…however much I can with the greats already in history and out there now. Grappelli, Carter, Miri Ben Ari.

I love the “wow, I’ve never heard the violin played like that” comments but so much has already been done

Wasn’t Paganini the original bad boy of violin. People thought he was possessed by the devil when they heard him play.
