Always an explorer among today's virtuoso violinists, Gidon Kremer presents a personal selection of some of his greatest Deutsche Grammophon recordings, displaying the full range of his repertoire and tastes

"You always hear in his playing - as well as all the apparent effortlessness and facility - the way he's irresistibly attracted by risk and danger. Sticking to the safety of well-trodden paths doesn't seem to interest him"
- Nikolaus Harnoncourt

With 25 minutes of brilliant previously unreleased material

Always an explorer among today's virtuoso violinists, Gidon Kremer presents a personal selection of some of his greatest Deutsche Grammophon recordings, displaying the full range of his repertoire and tastes, and paying tribute at the same time to the musical partners of a lifetime - to Martha Argerich, Leonard Bernstein, Tatiana Grindenko, Mischa Maisky and Oleg Maisenberg, among others, and above all, to his own creation, Kremerata Baltica, who perform with unrivalled virtuosity in three unforgettable bonus tracks
