The Violin Channel recently caught up with eclectic French violinist, Gilles Apap - for a fun game of VC Desert Island Downloads. 

We sat him down to pick his brain on which 5 CD recordings he would take with him to a deserted island - and how the tracks have helped shape him as a musician.

"First of all, how long do I have to be on this deserted Island?

Also, if there's no computer it's gotta be a tape player!

 

1. Traditional Music from the Legendary East Clare Fiddler - Paddy Canny

 

2. The Legacy Of Tommy Jarrell, Vol. 1: Sail Away Ladies - Tommy Jarrell

 

3. Bach: Matthäus-Passion - Performed by Berlin Philharmonic & Herbert von Karajan

 

4. The Very Best of Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys - Bill Monroe

 

5. Old Rock - Frank Zappa, Pixies, and Underground Velvet

But please, it's gotta be a nice island ... surf included ... promise?

And no shitty food or drinks ...
