We are constantly expanding the press review of the tour

BILD - 21.03.2025 by Tanja May & Özlem Evens

SHE is the most important woman in David Garrett's life

Going crazy with Harry Mozart

David Garrett plays an acclaimed concert in the sold-out Olympiahalle to kick off his world tour

Münchner Merkur & tz (22./23.03.2025) by Kathrin Frack

“...The start of the “Millennium Symphony” world tour could hardly have gone better for David Garrett. “Sold-out hall, I'm going crazy!” he shouts enthusiastically. And he doesn't take off that inspired expression for the rest of the evening. According to the organizers, around 10,000 visitors came to hear the new arrangements. “We've prepared a fantastic show for you,” promises Garrett right at the start of the concert. And he keeps his word....”

Harry Styles as a modern Mozart

Star violinist David Garrett thrills audiences at the concert in the Olympic Hall with his new creations of established pop hits

Süddeutsche Zeitung (22./23.03.2025) by Dirk Wagner

"...And rightfully so, [the fans] are excited about his fantastic re-creations of well-known pop hits, all of which are from this century. In these, he cleverly plants his classical DNA, with the song by My Chemical Romance already rooted in an old canon by Pachelbel, while, for example, the White Stripes hit "Seven Nation Army" picks up a motif from Bruckner's 5th Symphony at the beginning of the two-hour show. Accordingly, Garrett interprets the British singer Harry Styles in his reinterpretation of "As It Was" as a modern Mozart, while he performs Ed Sheeran's "The Joker And The Queen" as if it had been composed by the piano virtuoso Rachmaninoff." read more

Fire, Pop and Virtuosity

Donau Kurier (22./23.03.2025) & Passauer Neue Presse (22.03.2025) by Martin Buchenberger

"...What is also spectacular is the placement of his classical ensemble. The string and wind players of the orchestra are positioned in a huge compartment at the back of the stage, which simultaneously serves as a gigantic screen. Depending on the need, it becomes opaque, displays images, or reveals the musicians. ...Crossover can really be a lot of fun." read more

David Garrett in Vienna: Spectacular sold-out star violinist show

Schnappen (26.03.2025) by Kelo

"...Those who attended the show and experienced the stage spectacle with its gigantic stage backdrop understood why 18 trucks were necessary for David Garrett's performance. The mega-show alone impressed with its uniqueness: from the dancer in the flying hoop to a huge box with 12 divided chambers where musicians sat, were illuminated alternately, and played along with the music. Pyrotechnics, as well as sophisticated laser and lighting effects, added the finishing touch..." read more

A pop-classic spectacle

crossover: With his project "Millennium Symphony," star violinist David Garrett thrilled his fans at the SAP Arena.

Mannheimer Morgen (26.03.2025) by Jakob Roth

"To get straight to the point: Star violinist David Garrett shook the SAP Arena last Monday evening. At the end of his show, the audience stands up from their seats, claps, cheers, dances, and demands encores. This makes it immediately clear: With his new crossover project 'Millennium Symphony,' Garrett hits the mark with his fans. No wonder, as the arena show combines sophisticated orchestral arrangements with the biggest radio hits of the past 20 years into a surprisingly vibrant sound experience..." see full article

The devils violinist plays Rammstein

It is a total work of art, consisting of orchestra, rock band, light and fire, acrobatics, and his fantastic violin playing: David Garrett captivates in the SAP Arena in Mannheim.

Die Rheinpfalz (26.03.2025) by Frank Pommer

"During Avicii's 'Wake Me Up,' the arena dances for the first time. Garrett is now at operating temperature, but he also finds moments where the show takes a back seat and it’s all about the music, completely without effects and virtuoso gestures – for example, during 'Señorita' by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes. … The evening culminates in Garrett's literally bombastic version of the Coldplay song 'Viva La Vida.' Confetti cannons explode – and the audience celebrates. Everything was done right!" read full article

Showman, Musician, control freak

With his performance in Mannheim, David Garrett shows why he can be both liked and criticized

Rhein-Neckar-Zeitung (25.03.2025) by Daniel Schottmüller

"...The fans are also impressed by the sacred organ-heavy interpretation of Hozier's 'Take Me To Church.' And while Garrett breathes even more drama and pain into Harry Styles' hit 'As It Was' with precise playing, he gives Beyoncé's 'Naughty Girl' an oriental touch. As the 44-year-old shares in between, he learned the art of dynamics from his mentor Perlman back in the early 2000s. Thus, 'Despacito' transforms from all that string bombast into a reduced campfire jam – arranged in a semicircle with just violin, cajon, bass, and acoustic guitar. Especially Garrett's pizzicato and the flamenco plucking of Frank van der Heijden complement each other beautifully here...." read more

The one who dances with the violin

David Garrett, thrilled his fans on Tuesday in the sold-out Schleyer Hall – and as always, it seemed as if the instrument was a part of him.

Stuttgarter Zeitung (26.03.2025) by Dominika Bulwicka-Walz

"Right at the beginning of the show on Tuesday in the sold-out Schleyer Hall, David Garrett said about his 17th album: 'Millennium Symphony is an absolute labor of love for me.' When the 44-year-old plays, a nearly childlike joy shines on his face about what he is doing. As he walks through the hall with the violin, glides across the stage, and dances, it almost seems as if the instrument is a part of him..." weiterlesen

The German-American star violinist delivers a top-class show at the Barclays Arena. He also talks about defeats.

Hamburger Abendblatt (29.03.2025) by Peter Wenig

However, after the performance in the sold-out Hamburg Arena, even his harshest critics cannot deny that Garrett delivers a top-class show that can stand up to productions by international superstars – from the camera work to the pyro and lighting effects, to the pre-recorded videos. And while his band plays as usual on stage with the master, the members of his orchestra perform in stacked cubes.
