CD Reviews

SOUL CLENCHING MUSIC

06/23/1999

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Joshua Bell's style of music is true a testament of his soul. You don't need to know much about classical music to appreciate the beauty in his music. There's no better version of Meditation de Thais-than this. See "Red Violin", he does the music for the score and also makes a cameo appearance as a violinist in the symphony."

"I loved the Red Violin; the film and the score. Joshua Bell played the solo pieces on the score. Truly extraordinary. And that is all I knew of Joshua Bell.
Fast Forward.
I had heard the Massenet piece on ARTS (classical MTV). Didn't know the title, but did catch the composer's name. Went online, searched the composer, then started streaming available pieces until I heard the one that I wanted. As luck would have it, this CD had the piece I wanted. I ordered it, and was stunned by the tour de force playing by Joshua Bell. There is nothing, NOTHING, in the liner notes that tells me anything about Joshua Bell. But now I know why he was chosen to play on The Red Violin. This guy plays one mean violin.
The pieces on this CD (with the possible exception of the Massenet piece) are all virtuoso pieces, requiring, in my estimation, complete mastery of the violin while willing to take it right to edge.
What a CD!!"

Wowsers!

"What can I say? The first time I heard his rendition of "Meditation" I almost cried, I was so moved by it. I am not the type easily moved to tears, either. Chausson's Poeme is also ravishingly beautiful. I'm afraid to listen to anyone else's recordings of this piece now! He plays it so- forgive me- poetically. Bell should've been winning Grammys ever since he finished recording this CD. Why he never does is completely beyond me. This guy is unstoppable! He has the Midas' touch with any piece. Hopefully the fact that he is no longer in his twenties will give him a little more credit in the eyes of his stodgier detractors. Pity that they can't accept him for the young but amazing talent that he is."
