My mom LOVES this CD!!!
I bought this CD for my mother for Christmas, and she absolutely loves it. She loves violin, so I thought this would be a perfect gift for her, as I have heard that Joshua Bell is such an awesome violinist. Apparently, I heard correctly!! Enjoy!!
Joshua Bell IS Essential
Joshua Bell is not only "Atlas Maidenswoon"but a superb violinist.He brings out all the richest sounds the violin is capable of,without any of its sometimes ugly screeches!He has won me over to the violin,which I must admit was my least favorite instrument.Even in rush hour,I can't understand why people in the train station didn't pause to listen.Yes,he DID play in a train station.From Classical to Gershwin,he'll get you hooked too!
Beautiful
I like violin and classical music, but tend to get a bit bored after a couple of songs. Not with Joshua Bell. As soon as I started this CD I started grinning like an idiot; the music has made me want to cry and laugh in a different way than any other CD has. It is beautiful and sweet, without being sappy, and hot and fast without being unrecognizable.
To boil it down: This dude can play like nuttin' I've ever heard, and it's well worth the money; even if you don't generally like violin or classical music.
Something for everyone
Whether Chopin, Beethoven, Gershwin, or Bernstein is your composer of choice, you will find something here to please you. If you want a taste of many kinds of violin music, this is also your dual cd. Interesting variety, compelling style, gifted musicianship - these make this a five-star album. The cute picture of Joshua Bell on the cover doesn't hurt!
Love this
I keep this CD in my van at all times. It definately is not a typical violin cd. There is a variety of different types of music on this one. IT is very, very good. I really enjoy Joshua Bell's music.
