Bellissimo fraseggio, ma quello che manca a Bell ? il vibrato dei grandi interpreti di questo concerto.

Ok, before I get bashed for what I'm about to say, let me preface it by also saying that Joshua and I are friends, and he is an INCREDIBLE violinist (I own almost all of this recordings). That being said, I don't think this performance was his best (granted, the sound quality on YouTube isn't excellent either). IMO, Jennifer Frautschi does an amazing job with this concerto; I was blown away the first time I heard her perform. The 3rd movement of this performance is spot-on though.

One of his violin's *is* an original circa 1710 strad if I'm not mistaken (Bronislaw Huberman's old axe actually).

I think about that time in my life and the book every time I heard this. I love it.

And I don't if anyone knows but this movement of this concerto was mentioned in a book...I forgot the book but I remember reading it in high school in like 9th grade. It was some book about like these people who were in the Holocaust period and they were being held by the Nazi's. Like, they were running in the snow or whatever for miles and miles. There was a part when they weren't running and were at a camp where it said the guy played his heart out this movement. It was so inspiring.

I know right, he's fricking awesome

I've had the joy and pleasure of experiencing David Oistrakh, Solerno-Sonnenberg, Stern and Perlman - this man is there, with them. I am also a violinist. He is amazing.

I read, one of his violin is a copy of stradivardius? it is beautiful and his play also so awesome!

That was beautiful. I tend not to like the violin, too squeeky, but I love his playing. :)

God! I love Bell's playing. But somehow for this particular movement, I prefer Anne Sophie Mutter's and Von Karajan's rendition. But this is also great!

rubinstone  2008-01-18

Bell plays like hell! :-) Simply great - both technique and heart! Mr. Bell - just if you read my comment: THANK YOU SO MUCH for making this world a better place to live in through your wonderful interpretations of wonderful music!!!
