First Loves

First Loves is a collection of quintessential violin masterpieces which first inspired me to be a violinist. Includes showpieces by Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, Wieniawski, and more, plus “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake.
As a kid, I was surrounded by classical, pop, rock, jazz, film and contemporary concert music – finding a balance of old and new music is still very important to me. Many of the works on First Loves are the ones that drew me in as a child – Rachmaninoff, Sarasate, and Wieniawski, arrangements by Heifetz, and Kreisler – and remain profoundly relevant today. I’ve also included “Swan Remix,” my own arrangement of themes from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, which I made after my work on-camera and on the soundtrack of the film Black Swan. Each track is dedicated to someone who inspired me or made it possible for me to be the person and the artist that I am today. My hope is that First Loves will inspire others, young and old, to fall in love with the violin as I did.

Lyrics:

Les chemins qui vont à la mer ont gardé de notre passage
Des fleurs effeuillées et l’écho, sous leurs arbres, de nos deux rires clairs.
Hélas ! des jours de bonheur, radieuses joies envolées,
Je vais sans retrouver traces dans mon coeur.

Chemins de mon amour, je vous cherche toujours,
Chemins perdus vous n’êtes plus et vos échos sont sourds.
Chemins du désespoir, chemins du souvenir, chemins du premier jour
Divins chemins d’amour.

Si je dois l’oublier un jour, la vie effaçant toutes choses
Je veux qu’en mon coeur un souvenir repose plus fort que l’autre amour
Le souvenir du chemin où tremblante et toute éperdue
Un jour j’ai senti sur moi bruler tes mains.
Chemins de mon amour, je vous cherche toujours,
Chemins perdus vous n’étes plus et vos échos sont sourds.
Chemins du désespoir, chemins du souvenir, chemins du premier jour
Divins chemins d’amour.

I recorded this in Fort Worth on Thursday March 28th. This piece was part of a recital that included the Goldberg Variations. I was played by Clark Griffith at Steinway Hall on one of Van Cliburn's favorite pianos. The hall was a little lively, so I recorded with two simple cardioid dynamic microphones patched straight into a Zoom H4
