Belladonna
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Rare 1986 Original. LP Appears Glossy, Unplayed. Small Notation On Back Cover. Paul Giger, Violin; Walter Keller-Walter, Piano. “Probably The Greatest, Most Proficient, Most Creative Violinist In The World, Paul Giger's Limited Number Of Recordings Only Hints At His Virtuosity, And Since So Few Of His Compositions Have Been Recorded, His Exposure To The World Has Been Very Limited. Born In Herisau In The Outer Rhoden Region Of Switzerland In 1952, Giger Began Playing The Violin At Age Eight. At Age 18, He Left Switzerland To Travel Through India, Nepal, And Other Asian Countries, Playing On The Streets To Support Himself. Returning To Switzerland In The Fall Of 1971, He Enrolled At The Conservatories Of Winterthur And Bern, Earning His Teacher's Degree In 1976 And A Soloists' Degree In 1980. From 1980 To 1983, Giger Was First Violinist With The St. Gallen Orchestra, And After 1983 Has Been A Freelance Musician (Though He Did Continue To Teach Violin Master Classes At The Musikakademie Of St. Gallen). He Works With The Neue Original Appenzeller Streichmusik Projekt, Sur, And Frequently Collaborates With Such Artists As Marie-Louise Dähler, Pierre Favre, And Glen Velez.” All Music Guide.
