Swingin' Through The Classics is a brilliant showcase of violinist Tim Kliphuis’s unique ability to blend the sophistication of classical masterpieces with the infectious energy of gypsy jazz. Often hailed as a modern-day heir to Stéphane Grappelli, Kliphuis brings his virtuosic violin skills to famous works by composers including Fauré, Dvorák, Chopin, Liszt, and Tchaikovsky.
Rather than simple crossovers, this album offers intelligent, well-shaped reworkings that retain the integrity of the original themes while infusing them with joie de vivre and stylish swing. Featuring an exceptional supporting cast, including Len Skeat (bass), Mitch Dalton (guitars), and Nick Dawson (piano), the ensemble delivers "ear-caressing" music that is as technically impressive as it is enjoyable.
