Gidon Markowitsch Kremer was born on 27th of February 1947 in Riga, Latvia to German-Jewish parents. He has established a worldwide reputation as one of the most original and compelling classical artists of his generation, praised for his high degree of individualism, his rejection of the well-trodden paths of interpretation, and his search for new possibilities.
