Joshua Bell (Great Violinist). This young man is a genius! Joshua Bell is one of my favourites as is Yo Yo Ma. This album is amazing! (I have a friend who's brothers name is Joshua Bell and he also plays the violin! XD)

Because he's an artist. There may not be, as one reviewer noted, much risk in this recording. It's not like Bell's other Baroque work, he doesn't deviate much from the proscribed "feel" of each season. But I feel that his artistic choice to do so is what really allows this piece to shine; he's not furiously trying to impress the listener with every note. It's as if he's meditating on the season in question WHILE he's playing. The violin is clear and crisp and energetic, and though the pace is less -- dazzling? -- than the Chang recording, the passion is there.

????. I'd have to say that Joshua Bell is pretty good but his style is odd and i don't like it, I've only listened to the previews of this album and others and they've been enough to make me cringe, which i probably why i have never really bought any of his music. Overall he plays beautiful but sometimes he adds a grace note or something and it takes away from the whole thing. One thing though that i do like him playing is Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto. But overall i prefer Hilary Hahn.

A very enjoyable performance. Joshua Bell's interpretation of Vivaldi's Four Seasons is quite inspiring. While the harpsichord does stand out from the other string instruments, I felt that it added to the "baroqueness" of the music. Unlike the terraced dynamics that you would expect with baroque period music, the gradually shifting dynamics in this interpretation added to the beauty of the Four Seasons. The best violin music is played with feeling in which I believe Bell does quite well. Sometimes it's hard to find a viola player to complement the soloist in the second movement of La Primavera (Spring). It's either too soft, too loud, or the notes are off. While I like the performance on this recording, I thought the viola player of Tafelmusik with violin soloist Jeanne Lamon sounded better.

Amazing. A great album. I sincerely wish that more people appreciated classical music.
