	Joshua Bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bell began taking violin lessons at the age of four when his mother discovered her son had taken rubber bands from around the house and stretched them across the handles of his dresser drawer and was plucking out music he had heard her play on the piano.
		Bell studied as a boy first under Mimi Zweig, then switched to Josef Gingold after assurances from Bell's parents that they were not interested in pushing their son in the study of the violin but simply wanted him to have the best teacher for their son's abilities.
		Bell's instrument is a 300-year-old Stradivarius violin called the Gibson ex Hubermann, which was made in 1713 during what is known as Antonio Stradivari's "Golden Era." This particular instrument has a unique history as it was stolen twice; the last time the owner confessed to the theft on his deathbed.

	CNN.com - Review: Joshua Bell's intimate 'Voice' - Aug 31, 2006
		Bell, however, knows that to flourish in the market of MP3s, his best friends are two: his 1713 Stradivarius -- he calls himself its caretaker -- and his own long-seasoned sensibilities.
		Bell's rippling eloquence is at last released in a languid caress, an arpeggio of such fragile desire, you'll hold your breath.
		Wherever Bell next turns his focus, and we must hope it includes his own composition, we can be sure of the serious commitment of the man. This is rare authenticity.

	CONCERT REVIEW: Bell Plays With Nordic Ensemble -- Violinist Joshua Bell Replaces Mutter in Celebrity Series Performance
		Overall, Bell delivered a satisfactory reading of the piece, although at times the odd combination between the American virtuoso and a Nordic string ensemble was blatantly apparent.
		Bell twisted and turned to direct his fellow musicians, at times almost thrusting his body into the cello section.
		Bell will finish the rest of the North American tour in place of Mutter, no doubt with great success, but Mutter’s signature warmth will be greatly missed in those concerts.

		Bell won a Grammy for his recording of Nicholas Maw's violin concerto, and is currently on tour playing in large and small venues around the country.
		But it was a bit of a shock when Bell walked on stage in his simple fl silk shirt and pants, his floppy hair almost in his eyes, a baby-face, and so shy that he couldn't gaze into the audience for very long.
		Bell's leading of the string section made them the focus of the show ï¿½ as string sections so often are ï¿½ but in this concerto the flute and oboes really stood out.

	classical music - andante - joshua bell
		Grabbing the public eye is of course only the beginning of the story, the initiation of a barrage of struggles; in the intensely competitive prodigy-producing frenzy of recent years, cautionary tales of transient glory run rife.
		Joshua Bell is the rare musician who has survived the dangerous chrysalis of premature fame — his Philadelphia Orchestra debut came at 14, ten years after he first began practicing on a 1/16th-size instrument — to emerge with grace as a fully adult artist.
		Needless to say, the tension between commerce and art is a constant throughout history, but its current manifestations can be seen in a uniquely threatening light: the demise of the classical record industry, the indifference to new music, and the endless concoction of "crossover" projects that haven't done much to bolster anyone's cause.

	Joshua Bell: West Side Story Suite from Central Park
		Bernstein's own New York Philharmonic Orchestra and guest artists violinist Joshua Bell and Broadway soprano Kristin Chenoweth performed before an enthused audience of 50,000 people in the evening glow of the city's famous skyline.
		An arrangement for violin was approved by Bernstein himself before his death in 1990; Brohn was in fact chosen by Sid Ramin, Bernstein's orchestrator for the original score.
		And certainly, Bernstein would have approved of how Joshua Bell - the most celebrated of today's American-born violinists, and the New York Philharmonic - with William Eddins in his conducting debut with the orchestra, elevated his Broadway musical to a genuine concert piece.
