When Garrett was four years old, his father bought a violin for his older brother. The young David took an interest and soon learned to play. A year later, he took part in a competition and won first prize. By the age of seven, he was playing once a week in public. He studied violin at the Lubeck Conservatoire. At the age of 12, he began working with the distinguished Polish violinist Ida Haendel, often travelling to London and the other European cities to meet her. At the age of 13, he recorded two CDs, appeared on German and Dutch television, and gave a concert in the residence of the Federal Republic of Germany President, the Villa Hammerschmidt, at Dr. von Weizsäcker’s personal invitation. He was offered the use of the famous Stradivarius "San Lorenzo", which is among the best instruments of the "golden period". At the age of 14, as the youngest soloist ever, he signed an exclusive contract with Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft. At the age of 17, he played with the Munich Philharmonic Orchestra under the direction of Zubin Mehta in Delhi and Bombay in concerts marking the 50th anniversary of India’s Independence. At the age of 19, he played with the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchster in Berlin, under the direction of Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, and was hailed by critics. This led to an invitation to perform at Expo 2000 in Hannover. He continued his studies at the Royal College of Music in London. At the age of 21, he was invited to perform at the BBC Proms. He graduated from the Juilliard School in 2004.
While studying at the Juilliard School in New York City, as one of the first students to study with Itzhak Perlman, Garrett supplemented his income by working as a model. Some fashion writers have described him as "the David Beckham of the classical scene".
In December 2007, Garrett fell after a performance at Barbican Hall in London, and smashed his rare violin, initially reported as a Stradivarius, but later corrected to having been made by Giovanni Battista Guadagnini. Garrett had purchased the instrument four years earlier for USD 1 million.[3] It was estimated that it would cost $120,000 to repair.[4]

La califfa
David Garrett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through your broken words at me
A flower fair, a whisper in the air
Your heart is blind to all that I see
You say love is like the tide
Nothing lasts for all of time
But I believe that love is here with me
Tu ritroverai con me
La più splendida proprietà
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
Alla ricerca di te
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
Alla ricerca di te
In David Garrett's song La califfa, the lyrics describe a conversation between two individuals where one person is expressing their doubts about love while the other is looking at the beauty of the world and holding the belief that their love will last forever. The person speaking to the doubtful individual says that they see a flower fair and a whisper in the air, but their heart is blind to all that they see. The person speaking then goes on to say that their love is not like the tide that comes and goes, but instead is a love that will last for eternity.
The Italian lyrics in the song translate to "You will find with me the most splendid property, a moment of sun above us, looking for you. A moment of sun above us, looking for you."

Line by Line Meaning
You look down and all you see
You have lost hope and are unable to see the brighter side of things
Through your broken words at me
Your speech is filled with pessimism and negativity
A flower fair, a whisper in the air
Amidst all the chaos and confusion, there is still beauty and hope
Your heart is blind to all that I see
You're unable to see the beauty and positivity that surrounds us
You say love is like the tide
According to you, love is temporary and fleeting
Nothing lasts for all of time
Everything comes to an end eventually
But I believe that love is here with me
I have faith that love will always be present in my life
And for eternity
Love is everlasting and timeless
Tu ritroverai con me
You will find yourself with me
La più splendida proprietà
The most beautiful belonging
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
A moment of sunshine above us
Alla ricerca di te
In search of you
Un attimo di sole sopra noi
A moment of sunshine above us
Alla ricerca di te
In search of you

Льется музыка, музыка, музыка,
То печаля, а то веселя.
Кто - то тихо играет
На дудочке,
Под которую кружит Земля...
Льется музыка, музыка, музыка
И вовек не устанет кружить...
Бесконечная, вечная, мудрая,
От которой так хочется жить!
💕
