Extractions: Joshua Bell admits it: He's always loved technology. "Computers, video games, special effects," he says, "for me, it's all fun. I like playing around with new possibilities, so when it comes to technology and music —well, let's just say I have a pretty open mind." An open mind. Anyone attempting to unite the magic of modern technology with the glories of classical music would have to have an open mind, as the classical music world is notoriously suspicious of newfangled inventions and other "improvements." But if anyone can change the world, it's Bell. Legend has it that Bell, 34, received his first violin before the age of five, after his parents noticed his habit of stretching rubber bands over the handles of dresser drawers, plucking and strumming the self-designed "instruments" to make his own, brand-new kind of string music. That knack for tinkering is probably at the root of Bell's interest in modern technology, which has found a place in his current work with composer Tod Machover at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At MIT, Bell is helping Machover—who the

Extractions: In its concise description of violinist Gidon Kremer, The Concise Grove Dictionary of Music quips that the 54-year-old Latvian violinist shows "a rare command of the concerto repertory and a sympathetic approach in chamber music." You have to love the Grove's command of understatement. Eight Seasons (which alternated each of Vivaldi's famous Four Seasons concertos with movements from Argentinean tango master Astor Piazzolla's Four Seasons of Buenos Aires suite) and continued with last year's Grammy-winning After Mozart , which brings together the music of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (and his father Leopold) and works by 20th-century composers inspired by Mozart.

JOSHUA BELL - Classical Music Concert Reviews || By Leen L. joshua is a very lyrical violinist when he During the Schubert peice, bell moved intothe Concertmaster's spot to join the rest of the chamber orchestra. http://www.starlight-angel.com/music/reviews/joshuabell/
Extractions: He began immediately on the Bach Concerto (a piece I'm familiar with because I'm currently playing it! ^^) and the power that emmited from the small group was breathtaking. Though the piece is elementary, Joshua played with no less vigor than one would give to an entricate Paganini score. I admire that in him as an artist. It was a small detail that struck me. This was my first concert to see Joshua Bell and his body language was one I haven't yet experienced for myself. I was pleasantly surprised to see how moved by the music he was when watching his every sway. This often showed up in his Bach peice for he would often take large jerks or dips with his body towards a section whenever a sudden forzando would be coming in the music. His body language added such harmony to the music. Acting as conductor and as a soloist was quite a task but he managed it with grace. I throughly enjoyed his interpretation of the Bach Concerto and wide range of dynamics. It was certainly an amazing learning experience to see a professional violinist. Observing his technique was quite enthralling. I would always note how delicate and gentle his harmonics were and his extremely slight bow movement would result in clear, crisp, loud tones that would sing throughout the auditorium. That was absolute magic to me!

Nonfiction: Joshua Bell Live! to Robert J. Lurtsema, (a classical radio announcer for WGBHBoston) speak aboutthe life and career of violinist joshua bell, I was thoroughly impressed. http://www.teenink.com/Past/1994/4369.html
Extractions: As I sat listening to Robert J. Lurtsema, (a classical radio announcer for WGBH-Boston) speak about the life and career of violinist Joshua Bell, I was thoroughly impressed. Sitting in the middle of a room in Dorchester full with thirty Timilty Middle Schoolers and numerous reporters, stout Lurtsema looked something like a weathered sailor spinning a tale. He spoke of young Bell, performing over a hundred concerts a year, playing all over the world to sold-out audiences and enthusiastic fans. Bell has been seen on the Johnny Carson show, heard on a number of his own CDs and soloed with the world's finest orchestras. He plays on a Stradivarius violin, a line of violins accepted as the most outstanding. Lurtsema described a world-renowned violinist and a rising star in the classical music field - a star who was coming to speak to the Timilty Middle Schoolers about music and his career. But when Joshua Bell rushed through the doors, however, he was not glowing with fame, nor shining with virtuosity. Instead he was a young man with shaggy brown hair wearing black jeans and a sweater, a worn black violin case slung across his shoulder. His boyish face (later he commented, with a grin, "I'm 26 but some people think I still look 12.") was anything but imposing. His first statement was not about the art of music-making but rather the basketball team at Indiana University, his alma mater. All eyes were riveted on the young star who set his case down and settled into a seat in the center of the room.

Extractions: Updated on March 1, 2001 New Information Joshua won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Soloist with an Orchestra for his recording of the Maw Violin Concerto! Biography Highlights Born on December 9, 1967 in Bloomington, Indiana; Joshua Bell's brilliant career began at age five when his parents gave him a violin. Not surprisingly, he proved to be a quick study. In 1979, the world renowned violinist, Joseph Gingold, became his teacher and mentor after Joshua attended Meadowmount's summer program and studied under Ivan Galamian and Joseph Gingold. In 1981, he won the Seventeen Magazine/General Motors competition and made his orchestral debut with Ricardo Muti and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Following closely on the heels of those two triumphs, he debuted at Carnegie Hall and won an Avery Fisher Career Grant. From 1987 to 1996, he recorded for London/Decca records, releasing thirteen records under that label. In October 1996, he signed with Sony Classical. His first recording under that label is "Gershwin Fantasy" followed up by "Short Trip Home" with Edgar Meyer, Sam Bush, and Mike Marshall; "Listen to the Storyteller" with Wynton Marsalis; and the soundtracks for "The Red Violin" and "Music of the Heart". For the movie The Red Violin , Joshua served as the artistic advisor, body double, and the performing artist responsible for all on-screen violin sounds. The movie traces the fictional history of a rare violin through three centuries and stars Samuel L. Jackson, Greta Scacchi, Monique Mercure, Carlo Cecchi, Jason Flemying, Remy Girard, and Colm Feore; and is directed by Francois Girard.
