Danilo Brito was a child prodigy who originally began playing both the mandolin and the four-stringed cavaquinho.
Avi Avital, a young virtuoso determined to expand the repertoire, is the first mandolinist ever to be signed to a contract with Deutsche Grammophone. His recording of Bach for the label is an important milestone for the mandolin.
