Joshua Bell Essentials

Violinist Joshua Bell has been dominating the classics and dazzling listeners since his professional orchestra debut at age 14 in 1981. He performed at Carnegie Hall soon after, and quickly became known as a technically brilliant player fuelled by a river of pathos. Soaring highest in virtuosic compositions like Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Tchaikovsky's Concerto in D Major, Bell finds meaning in every note. As the conductor and frequent soloist of the esteemed Academy of St Martin in the Fields, Bell's readings of Bruch's Violin Concerto No. 1 in G Minor and Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 in D Major are celestial.
