the CD is absolutely amazing. i don't believe you have to be a classical music lover to enjoy the beautiful selections that joshua bell has chosen for this CD. the classical pieces are very easy on the ears. mr. bell's mastery of the violin is quite obvious as you listen to the sounds that come from the instrument. my purpose in buying this CD was to find something that would be soothing and relaxing for a 95 year old woman who is ill, bed ridden and not easily pleased. i know that she used to like violin music so i thought i would give it a try. i find that i am not only playing the CD to relax my mother but, because the sounds are so beautiful and haunting (in a good way), i love to listen to it, as well. enjoy!
Bell is a renowned musician. The performance pieces chosen for the CD and not heavy concertos, but rather personal choices by Bell. Add in the fact that this is his first album with the Ex-Huberman Strad and fantastic accompanists, make this a really enjoyable CD for the whole family. The harpist and pianist compliment Bell's intuitive touch with the violin. The entire CD is lovely listening from start to finish. Some pieces may bring some listeners to tears. Fantastic for people who love great music but would rather not listen to heavy classical pieces. Even non-musicians would enjoy this CD. It's great for listening in the car as it's very uplifting and enjoyable. You may not want to exit the car when you reach your destination. Highly recommend.
This is a tender CD played by an exceptionally skillful, sensitive violinist. The selection of high quality, classic, romantic tunes is relaxing and beautifully played. This CD bears repeat playing. Recommended.
